In this episode, Jacinta and Lachlan discuss personal hygiene, grooming and self-care. This is something that both hosts struggle with (teeth brushing is the worst!) and something that we'd guess the neurodivergent community has issues with too (we've been tagged in many, many memes about showering). We also discuss how much harder these tasks are when you're not feeling your best or are facing mental health challenges.
