After taking a long break, I’m finally back—and wow, do we have a lot to catch up on! From undergoing a partial hysterectomy to diving headfirst into a brand-new fandom and hyperfixation, life has been anything but boring. Somewhere along the way, I also enrolled in a doctorate program, started a nonprofit, began a new job as a Peer Support Specialist, and decided to launch a YouTube channel—because apparently, I wasn't busy enough!

In this comeback episode, I’m spilling all the updates, sharing what life has looked like behind the scenes, and catching you up on the major changes, challenges, and exciting new chapters that have happened during my time away.

I may have taken a break from the podcast, but I definitely wasn't sitting still. So grab a seat, because we're catching up on everything. 🎙️✨

Getting back on the horse! Life happened with lots of loss in 2025, but now we're back and talking about what caught my attention when it was announced: autistic Barbie. Now, I can't seem to escape news articles popping up in my feed about her. Yes, I'm a grown adult and I can still have an opinion - and I quickly learned I have the "wrong" one, apparently 😂 Though it does seem that the autistic community is split! Either way, if a child is happy, that's what matters with Barbie.

On today's episode: from Chat GPT to chat rooms on the original AOL, I showcase how a simple thought can spiral into hyperfixating! I also talk about self-care with the Finch Self-Care Pet app and "A Hug in a Box" pampering, the latter which has me wondering if you too ever sit something away on a shelf with the intent of using it at "the perfect moment," but then months go by and you still haven't used it?
