A brand new podcast for the burned-out, masked-up, executive-dysfunction-having humans who’ve tried every planner, scheduled the self-care, and still feel like they’re underwater.

Hosted by Emily Aleksy (she/her) — licensed therapist, neurodivergent group practice owner, mom, and real-life human doing her best — The Doom Pile explores the messy parts of life in a world that wasn’t built for our brains.

If you’ve ever Googled “ADHD-friendly systems,” cried after a therapy session (on either side of the couch), or felt like burnout is just your baseline now — this podcast is for you.

Each episode is a deep-dive (or delightful side quest) into the lived experience of being neurodivergent:
• Navigating ADHD, autism, trauma, rejection sensitivity, executive dysfunction, & perfectionism

• Masking, unmasking, & the emotional cost of being “on” all the time

• Building private practices that actually work for neurodivergent therapists

• Sustainable entrepreneurship for sensitive, tired, brilliant brains

• Honest conversations with therapists, healers, and folks in the thick of it about the things that really matter

Come for the weird metaphors and off-the-rails tangents — stay for the validation, strategies, and “oh my god same” moments that remind you you’re not broken. You’re just living with a spicy brain in systems that weren't built for it.

This is your podcast permission slip to be the real unmasked you, rest more, and rethink what success actually means.
