I came off my medication and thought fitness and nutrition would pick up the slack.

Spoiler: it did not.

This week I'm recording from a little Airbnb in Scarborough, in the city for guest episodes, and somewhere between an ASIC strike on our company, nearly bailing on the whole trip, and two strangers stopping me in Woolies to say thank you, I had to sit with something I still don't know how to do.

Receive.

If you've ever deflected a compliment, shrunk when someone said something kind, or felt like a complete fraud when people told you you were doing well, this one's for you.

In this episode:

• Why I almost got back in the car and went home
• What actually happens when you try to raw-dog your ADHD
• The ASIC strike, the shit news in the car, and keeping going anyway
• Two strangers in Woolies who stopped me and why I still don't know what to do with that
• The self-doubt spiral underneath building something real
• Is the community actually going to work or am I just wasting time and money again
