To reconnect with ourselves (the sensations in our bodies), so we can understand what we might need at that moment, means we need to pause. But pausing feels very scary to our bodies. This episode not only looks at why pausing feels so bad to
When I was batching these episodes, it occurred to me that maybe some of you were like me and a little lost when it comes to trying to understand what "discomfort " might actually feel like in your body when thinking of emotions. So this episo
FYI: I use the f word in the intro! It wasn't edited out this episode.Introspection is one of the things that we hear talked about a lot but it's not really talked about when it comes to what it means for being in this society. When we live in
I'm pleased with this episode. I've shared some introductory thoughts about the mind and body connection with neurodivergent people in mind. I talk a little about how society divides us not only from the land and each other but from ourselves.
One thing I tend to go on about is that when the story is told by one perspective, the problems and solutions are only seen from that perspective too. In talking about neurodivergence, we tend to be sharing the experiences from a lot about whit
Maybe this episode will make sense to some of you, or maybe it won't. But hear me out. I started thinking a little more deeply about boredom and how terrible it feels for people. Then I started thinking about the messages we got when we were bo
A theme that seems to come up a lot with the people I work with is around the anxiety and stress that comes up from feeling a lack of clarity for ND people. I even wonder if it's something that feels a lot worse the further you are on the marg
Boredom often connects to productivity for me and this didn't sit right with me for some reason, so I decided I needed to learn more about it. The initial title for this episode was 'is boredom really our fault though?' and that question was w
This week's episode looks predominately at refugee (although, I do think I mention immigrant populations occasionally too) populations and my thoughts about some of the research I've been doing around lack of mental health support. I don’t hear
This here is episode 50 and I am so thrilled to welcome my first guest! The most special-est, wonderful-est person I know talks to me about creativity, school and lots more. I know they'll leave you smiling with their wisdom and insights. It's
This episode talks a little about the story of someone I work with and from an intersectional lens (being an immigrant to a "western country", second language speaker and a person of colour). The problems that he was going through in order to g
In this episode, I'm musing on inflexible thinking. I don’t think that we’re naturally inflexible as much as it’s just naturally looking at what matters to us at the moment. It looks inflexible, but the thing is that you’ve not convinced us (or
This episode looks at Black Excellence and exceptionalism and how this might be experienced with neurodivergence. NOTE: I do stick to centering race in this episode, but I believe that depending on the different identities you hold there will b
The start of season two and the format is a bit different. A bit shorter, a bit more stories, not just the strategies but also a lot more centering intersectional neurodiversity. This neurodivergent space is full of erasure. It’s in the languag
I’m not just going to leave you thinking that it’s a lost cause and that there’s nothing we can do when we’re dealing with rejection. I don't think it's like that I’ve made improvements, I’ve made shifts in my thinking and I’ve made my way forw
This episode came up from one of my patron's question about rejection and the ability to decipher what rejection stems from ADHD (or other neurodivergent conditions) and what doesn't. The thought being, that if there were a way to figure this
Here's part two in the series on thoughts about "RSD" (rejection sensitivity dysphoria). This one is where I dive into some thoughts on rejection from an intersectional lens and wonder what kind of narrative we learn about who is rejected and h
RSD : Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria is a cluster of emotionally painful symptoms that arise in reaction to perceived judgement or rejection from others.It’s no surprise that we’re rejection sensitive. We’re sensitive about a lot of emotions, no
This episode is one where I give some initial thoughts on shame and blame. I've been drawn to Audre Lorde's quote that "there are no single-issue problems because we don't live single-issue lives" and I really appreciate this when I think about
This episode is a little different than I've done before. It's the audio taken from an IG Live that I recorded (and it's on my IG feed) where I finally shared my feeling and response on another podcast where it was said that there were no Black
In part three of my mini-series on Blame and Responsibility, I talk more about responsibility and what's made it difficult for us to take responsibility. It also looks at the importance of responsibility in taking action and how we can start lo
There are so many examples of where we see blame culture in society and the way that it impacts how we're able to see ourselves and the things that we sometimes feel we're able to do for ourselves. Many of us have hurdles to climb, so if it fee
This week I'm starting a three part series on blame and responsibility. Blame is disempowering and it's hard to take responsibility when we grow up learning that who we are is always the problem. This episode looks at why that is and how I thin
This week I share on self-care, but not so much on what I think we should do to take care of ourselves but why it's so damn difficult to do things for ourselves even when we know it's good for us. Self-care feels like a buzz word and we're sham
This episode builds on intersectionality (see episode 15 for an introduction) as a tool to better understand the social problems in today's society by looking at the role of power in the organisation of society. For intersectional analysis, th
