Hi, I’m Detty — a mum, a wife, a crocheter, a tea-lover, and someone living with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND).
I created The FND Podcast as a place to have real, honest chats about life with this condition — the parts that are scary, the parts that are frustrating, and the parts that are still full of light.
Here, you’ll hear from people with lived experience, carers, professionals, and advocates who all bring their stories, their insights, and their heart to the table. We talk about what it’s like to be diagnosed with FND, what recovery can really look like, how to manage flare-ups, navigate work, raise a family, and just keep showing up — one breath, one step, one day at a time.
This podcast isn’t about perfection. It’s about connection.
It’s about making space for every part of this journey — especially the parts that often get left out of the conversation.
Whether you’re living with FND, supporting someone who is, or just trying to understand it better — you’re welcome here.
So, grab a cuppa, get comfy, and join me for conversations that are warm, raw, and real.
You’re not alone.

Working With FND : Tiarnes experience : The FND PODCAST
In this heartfelt episode of The FND Podcast, Detty welcomes back the inspiring Tiarne, who bravely shares her personal journey of returning to work while living with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND). From the early days of navigating symptoms and mobility aids to finding the balance between part-time work and self-care, Tiarne opens up about the realities, challenges, and victories of employment with a chronic condition.
Whether you’re considering re-entering the workforce, looking into volunteering, or simply curious about how others manage FND in the workplace — this conversation is filled with honesty, insight, and encouragement. Tiarne reminds us that pacing, self-awareness, and finding supportive environments can make all the difference.
We also talked about
– Flexible working arrangements
– Managing symptoms on the job
– Advocating for your needs
– What really matters when you’re living with FND
– The power of purpose and doing what you love
A huge thank you to Tiarne for being so open and sharing her lived experience working with FND
Don’t forget to check out the show notes for helpful resources and past episodes, including Tiarne’s My FND Reality and our insightful chat with Katherine Gill from FND Australia Support Services on returning to work.
As always — stay safe, love hard, and peace. See you on the flip side
