…or WE ARE BACK EVERYONE! Because time is a construct and so too are seasons of any given podcast (or tv show) this seemed like a good moment to start Season 6. Aimée shares what she did over the summer, and more importantly, what she discovered about herself and writing. Spoiler alert:…NAH, I won’t spoil… Read more S6 E1: What We Did Over Summer Vacation
Well. Shit happens, and when shit happens (or, rather, we make the shit that is happening), as I say in the episode, “There ain’t no spiral like an ADHD spiral.” Or something like that. We’re getting into the hard stuff, because of RSD and the ADHD brain and societal pressure and, and, and, and…when we… Read more S4 E6: When We (Inevitably) Fall
Look, I’m running out of clever titles for these. I’m on a deadline. And it’s early. And I’ve run out of coffee. We’re picking up where we left off (or at least where Aimée forgot we left off) and talking about how to have productive conversations about neurodivergence and difference. It actually shares a lot… Read more S4 E4: Two Educators Walked Into A Productive Discussion…
1Aimee and I are talking about ways in which people try to be allies but fall short, and how to have productive conversations, nay disagreements with neurodivergents. We actually did this episode in one sitting and it isn’t 3hrs long, so celebrate our ability to manage our time and topic! We haz transcript.
I didn’t mean to take a screenshot while Aimée had her eyes closed, but here we are in totally unfamiliar surroundings. I moved and then had a breakdown and talk about it. This is our last episode of Season 3, as we both are, well, at our limits and going to take some much-needed vacations.… Read more S3 E18: The One Where Lee Has a Breakdown
Part two of our conversation about being in a relationship with someone who has ADHD/is otherwise neurodivergent. Aimée and I have been in this podcasting relationship for almost three year! THREE YEARS! Three years where, seriously, just about ALL THE THINGS happened. I don’t know where I am going with this. We made it work?… Read more S3 E17: Making Relationships Work
In this episode, Aimée and I give relationship advice, prompted by a listener question sent to us via email. I am not as good as she is at giving the advice. But I do read and answer the emails. So, there’s that! And, I managed to get this up and ready to go on time… Read more S3 E16: Loving Someone with ADHD
Three time’s a charm? This is the last part of our conversation, and our most honest and vulnerable. The message has always been that we should be the size and shape and much-ness that everyone else expects, but then when we aren’t, and we are too much, well, it feels awful. Love to you if… Read more S3 E15: What To Do About ALL THE THINGS? Pt. 3
Somehow there wasn’t a moment on total incoherence on my part, so I had to use my actual best judgement on when to cut these episodes. Although, I do still fill air with nonsense words while my brain spins and tries to find something to hold on to and make words. Whew. More too-muchness in… Read more S3 E14: What To Do About ALL THE THINGS? Pt. 2
It’s been (counts on fingers), 40 episodes of our show, and we haven’t even talked about the one ADHD trait that inspired our show’s title: that we are, well, A LOT. We have too many ideas, too many words, too much information, and no way to really filter, access, or limit those overabundance of things.… Read more S3 E13: What To Do About ALL THE THINGS? Pt. 1
HA! YOU ARE WELCOME FOR THAT PARTICULAR EARWORM! Early 1990s dance was was the BEST, come at me. Anyway, Aimée and I continue our conversation about movement and exercise and sports and everything like that. Get your transcript right here!
So this is a really REALLY specific Canadian reference. There was an interstitial show called “BodyBreak” in the late 80s/early 90s that encouraged exercise and movement for healthy living. My God, I just fell down this YouTube wormhole. They have a whole freaking channel. I had no idea they were still making these. Anyway, today… Read more S3 E11: BODYBREAK!
CW: Food, diet culture. This is Part II of our conversation about good and eating and ADHD. But there are multiple asides first, about picking and feeling feelings about this podcast and all of you. I promised show notes in the episode, so here you go: The tweet that led to my first public admission… Read more S3 E10: Vulnerable
CW: food, diet culture, weight. This is an episode topic that I’ve wanted to do for a while. We do out best to have a hard conversation about food, eating, medication, stigma, and shame in way that is open, honest, and kind. But as Aimée says at the beginning of the episode, if this isn’t… Read more S3 E9: You Aren’t What You Eat
This is the second part of our conversation on transitions, and sometimes we just feel stuck. And it sucks. So we laugh at ourselves, including building in forgetting to eat so that we remember to end the podcast recording, or else we would get (pleasantly) stuck talking and talking and talking and talking… Sorry if… Read more S3 E8: Stuck
Transitions. Why are the so freaking *hard* for those of us with ADHD? From being chronically late to unable to start projects to just not showering (guilty!), we all struggle moving from one thing to the next. Aimée and I spend the next two episodes talking about our own struggles with transitions and what we… Read more S3 E7: From One Thing To The Next
Part deux of our conversation about rest. Stick around to the very end when we get really, really silly. And how TF is it the last day of April already? Transcript.
Yeah, I put REST in all-caps because it’s the thing that many of us, but especially those of us with ADHD are bad at. Maybe this image that crossed my social media view after we had recorded this episode sounds familiar, but it is also literally what Aimée describes early in the episode. The image… Read more S3 E5: REST
In part two our our discussions about inclusivity in the workplace, Aimée and I talk about how to have the hard conversations around accommodations, inclusivity, and building trust. Spoiler alert: we don’t have an easy answer, but if we don’t trust one another, then nothing else will really matter. Still no idea where my template… Read more S3 E4: Hard Conversations About Inclusive Practices
In this episode, in honor of us recording it on April 2, which was Autism Awareness Day, we discuss this year’s theme which was inclusivity (which my spell-check doesn’t even recognize as a word, so that should tell you something). We talk about what inclusivity could look like moving forward, post-pandemic, when we return to… Read more S3 E3: What Does Inclusivity Look Like?
