We're back with the first part of our recent live episodes recorded at Gosforth Civic Theatre, and this one is all about giving yourself permission to stop doing things that make life harder than it needs to be.

From supermarkets and recycling systems to forms, handshakes, Christmas dinner and social expectations, Kate, Nic and the audience share their own personal "just don't" moments. It's a funny, honest conversation about sensory needs, executive function, masking, and the small acts of rebellion that can make everyday life a bit easier.

A huge thank you to everyone who came along and made the evening such a brilliant event. The audience played a big part in this episode and you'll hear plenty of their stories throughout.

We've got Part 2 coming soon, and we'd love to hear your ideas for future podcast topics. If there's something you'd like us to explore, let us know.

Recorded live at Gosforth Civic Theatre.
