Description

We share our weekly highs and lows, exploring perfectionism, dating app adventures, and the challenges of parenting through burnout.

• Claire discusses her struggle with perfectionism through a mirror restoration project that caused family tension and revealed further possible autism traits alongside her ADHD
• She celebrates a successful counseling session with her son, with the therapist validating concerns about school support for neurodiversity
• Gen finds humour in dating app experiences, celebrating her ability to set boundaries with someone who misinterpreted her profile
• Gen details parenting while experiencing burnout, including a stressful evening culminating in "the coffee incident" with her autistic daughter
• Both hosts reflect on the importance of self-compassion and acknowledging limitations as neurodivergent parents

Raise a fist and say it with us, sisters in chaos!
