A Podcast with Lee and Aimée
So, it’s Friday and Monday was a holiday so I lost track of what day it was and never edited and uploaded the episode. I spent all my time working on that segue (and I literally had to google how to spell that word and not at all what I was expecting) that I didn’t… Read more S5 E3: The One Where Lee Segues from Lumpy Pumpkins to Beauty
Welcome back after a three-week hiatus! We sure put the amateur in amateur podcasters! This week, it’s about sleep and how neurodivergent people tend to put off going to sleep even when we’re exhausted as some kind of revenge. The technical term has “revenge” and “bedtime” and “procrastination” in it, maybe in that order, but… Read more S5 E2: Revenge is a Dish Best Served to Yourself When You’re Exhausted?
We’re back for Season Five! How did our Summer of Self-Acceptance go? Both really well and HORRIBLY. We have regrets. But at least we can laugh about it. And remember, it’s not catastrophizing if it’s actually a catastrophe! Transcript where we swear less than usual. Shockingly. https://media.blubrry.com/allthethingsadhd/allthethingsadhd.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/S5-E1-9922-1.51-PM.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadSubscribe: Apple Podcasts… Read more S5 E1: We Have Regrets
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
