Jessie tries out a new episode format this week and gives you a front row seat to her having a psychological break through and realizing she's codependent as fuck. Also, episodes will be released biweekly (every two weeks) for a while as Jessie sorts through the bajillion things she has on the go!Follow the podcastInstagram: @honestlywtfpodTikTok: @honestlywtfpodFollow JessieInstagram: @itsjessieliz

It's double trouble with Jesses this week as Jessie is joined by Twitch streamer @itsjskah to talk about her experience of getting diagnosed with ADHD and how things have changed since then. The ladies bond over things like needing to have multiple things happening at once in order to be productive, never being able to get anywhere on time, and having a million and one hobbies to keep them occupied (though they often just get stuck staring at Tiktok or a wall – sometimes you don't get to choose your hyperfixation!) A slight warning that there are sections of high-speed talking... apparently that's what happens when you put two neurodivergent Jesses who like to talk on a podcast together.Submit a Confession:The Confessional Submission FormFollow JessTwitch: @itsjskahInstagram: @itsjskahTikTok: @itsjskahFollow the podcastInstagram: @honestlywtfpodTikTok: @honestlywtfpodFollow JessieInstagram: @itsjessieliz

If you didn't read the episode title the way Ross from Friends yells it, you have some homework to do... go on... we'll wait. Jessie is pivoting. She will no long be confined by a podcast theme that she has outgrown. So now, there is no theme. Jessie is going to be talking about whatever the heck she wants to talk about that particular week.

Jessie chats with Tell from @tellsteaa about how she's learned to not give into the pressure of constantly hustling and take breaks when she needs them.

Tell is a mental health blogger and business owner (@hip__clips) who candidly and authentically shares her ups, downs and all the hilarity in between.Follow TellInstagram: @tellsteaa Business: @hip__clipsSubmit a Confession:The Confessional Submission FormFollow the podcastInstagram: @honestlywtfpodTikTok: @honestlywtfpodFollow JessieInstagram: @itsjessielizTikTok: @itsjessieliz
