Episode 22: Neurodivergence, Memes, & "Relational Sense-making"... and Onions - w/Katie
I'm back! This time, my friend Katie returns to discuss her journey of discovery as a late-realized auDHDer and the role of memes in both the discovery of neurodivergence for many people and the way we communicate with each other and the "neurotypicals" in our lives. We end with an onion realization and few rounds of "one gotta go." Thanks for listening! More info at www.briantalkstohumans.net - Please note: As we discuss in this episode Katie did not come up w/the Whitney Houston portion of the image you'll see as the "cover art" on some platforms, but she did the rest.

Phish, auDHDer Joy, & Profound Acts of Love [Solo Episode]
I made a video to tell people I love all about how magical and meaningful experiencing Phish's New Year's Eve show at Madison Square Garden was. I figured I'd make it a solo podcast episode, too.
I weave together a lovely story leading up to this past week and the moments of joy Phish provided.

Ep. 20: Lia Is Exactly Who They Are Supposed To Be
so glad to post a new full episode with my friend Lia. I know Lia from 12-step spaces and love them to pieces. Like me, they identify as neurodivergent. We discuss many things, including moving though life while constantly getting the message you are not what you are supposed to be -- and recovering from our pasts.
TW: This conversation includes references to trichotillomania, self-harm, suicidal ideation and attempts, and sexual assault.
Thanks so much for listening!
