All The Things ADHD

Or taking a vacation from being so hard on yourself. It’s Friday the 13th (which we didn’t plan) and we’re releasing our 71st episode, which is an odd number to note, and also it’s our Season 4 finale! HOORAY! In this episode, Aimée declares that this should be a Summer of Self-Acceptance, so we talk… Read more S4 E27: The Summer Of Self-Acceptance

So, I’m going to put a big, ol’ content warning on the top of this one. We talk about how the medical system and the individuals acting in it are ableist and ageist and sexist AF (among other things) and we share how we suffer the consequences. Aimée bravely shares her recent experience, and we… Read more S4 E26: YOU NEED TO DO A LOT F’ING BETTER, MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS

Elon Musk bought Twitter. This is where Aimée and I have all of our friends. We talk about why Twitter is such a great place for us to make and sustain friendships, and why we are perceived as being terrible friends when we’re not on Twitter. Come to commiserate, share with your friends and loved… Read more S4 E25: Friendship is Magic when you have Assistive Devices like Twitter

In this episode, Aimée and I discuss what it’s like to be bored when you’re neurodivergent. And, spoiler alert, it happens A LOT and when it does, we have a physical reaction that can end up making us look like assholes. Not just look like, but actually we are being a bit of an asshole.… Read more S4 E24: Boredom, or We Can Be Such A-Holes Sometimes

In the throws of insomnia, Aimée posses the question: what is the worst advice you’ve every heard which would make perfect sense if you were neurotypical, but as someone who is neurodivergent, the advice is complete nonsense? Kinda like that sentence, AMIRIGHT? We share ALL THE THINGS that didn’t work for us, reactions to sharing… Read more S4 E23: Crazy Advice for Neurotypical People

Hi, so, in this episode, Aimée drops a massive truth-bomb on me (and thus you, also) about self-care. Warning: you will feel really uncomfortable and possibly cry a little, but you NEED TO HEAR THIS. We’re talking about self-care. It’s not all uncomfortable truths and necessary realizations and reframings. We still end up laughing, a… Read more S4 E24: I AM WORTH IT DAMN IT AND SO ARE YOU

Today we’re talking about the loaded and landmine-filled topic, receiving feedback as people who are neurodiverse. One of our listeners suggested the topic, and we both know how difficult it is to get critiqued when all you hear is harsh criticism. We talk about our worst moments of receiving feedback, all the ways we try… Read more S4 E21: The Sh*t Sandwich

Hi. Today Aimée and I talk about perfectionism. As you can probably tell by the quality of this website and podcast recording/editing quality, I am team Good Enough, while Aimée is on Team Perfectionism. Which are both problematic in their own ways, and we talk about it. A lot. I hope whichever team you fall… Read more S4 E20: Y U ALWAYS TRY 2 B PERFECT?

We sprang forward with the time (although this was recorded two weeks before that happened), it’s about to be the equinox, days are getting longer, and Aimée and I are getting MANIC AF. We talk about managing our energy, learning from the cycle of the seasons, and the importance of rituals. MANIA! ADHD is fucking… Read more S4 E19: SPRING FEVER, ADHD STYLE

Or, I Better Have Remembered To Attach The Damn MP3 File To This Post Or Alanis Morissette Is Going To Write A Whole Fucking Verse About This For A New Recording Of Her Hit Song Ironic. Which was too long for the full title, but I had to get it out. We’re still talking about… Read more S4 E18: Wait, What Were We Talking About?
