  • Q & A... Questions? Eek. Me too:)


    In this episode, I answer real and imagined questions about this podcast (and about me.)  Eek.

    Thank you to my guests who have answered my questions on previous episodes! And I'm looking forward to getting back to just asking the questions (not answering them;)

    Questions I take a stab at include...

    my definition of "neuro-interesting"?
    my answer to "success?"

    Why no men interviewed (yet)? 

    Joyful struggles of podcasting tech?! -with helpful links:)

  • Divorce Party... Checking Assumptions & Flying Jets


    For today’s episode, I got to talk with a thoughtful friend about her Divorce Party.

    I loved hearing about how she was questioning her assumptions and we both laughed at the need for feeling your darn feelings- so hard sometimes. Plus we talked learning stick shift and flying jets. I had a great time and hope you enjoy as well.

    Mentioned in today's conversation:

    Dr. Becky & the Good Inside Podcast- a great resource for parents of any aged kids and for 'reparenting' yourself! (Even if you don't have kids, it's worth a listen!)

    Jennifer Dary, founder of Plucky https://www.beplucky.com/about/

    Oh- and the IOM's To Err is Human? Came out  November 29th, 1999, not 2001. Oops. Kinda funny I got that wrong, right? ;)

  • Autistic (doctor/writer) friends compare contrast and giggle


    My guest today is a wonderful friend who shares her experience as an adult realizing that she’s on the autistic spectrum.
    I refer to her as aka-K because she feels uncomfortable with her actual name being out there.
    Aka K is a physician, turned writer, parent of an autistic nonbinary trans child, and married to a physician-scientist. And funnily enough- that describes my background as well. 
    In this episode, we compare notes about how we feel about autism in our lives. And aka- K surprised me with some of her answers.
