The Messy Dr. Sue episodes
- Lies, Fantasy or Reality? The Strength It Took Me to Stay.
The heart of this episode is actually:
"When someone tells you a version of reality that is completely different from yours, how do you decide what is misunderstanding, what is fantasy, and what is simply a lie?"
An ASD diagnosis may help me understand some communication and interpretation patterns, but it does not explain away or excuse poor choices made. That distinction actually makes this episode much stronger.
This is a vulnerable and honest Dr Sue episode. Not about “my husband is the villain,” and not about “my husband is autistic, therefore everything is forgiven.” I am trying to say more like: I stayed. But staying required strength, boundaries, forgiveness, and eventually learning the difference between compassion and self-abandonment.

18 min - Living With an Adult Asperger’s Brain
This could actually become a very powerful Dr Sue episode because I am not approaching autism as a textbook subject. I am talking about what it feels like to live alongside someone whose brain works very differently from mine.
One important wording adjustment: “Asperger syndrome” is an older diagnostic term; current diagnostic systems generally place it under Autism Spectrum Disorder, and “Level 1” refers to the level of support someone may need. I’d keep “Asperger’s” in the title because that is the term many people recognise, but explain this gently in the episode.
And I think the funniest angle is not laughing at autism, but laughing at the beautiful absurdity of two people trying to communicate when their brains apparently came with completely different operating systems. 😂

16 min - Healing Is Not Always PrettyIn this episode 4 of Season 3, I would like to talk about setbacks of healing and healing is a journey. There are messy ides of self-growth as social media can influence us into toxic positivity which increases emotional pressures over time. There is a difference between healing and performing healing.

14 min - You're Not Lazy, You're OverwhelmedIn this Episode, I'll share with you my personal story and some I knew on the emotional weight of being overwhelmed with tasks that sometimes seem like they're procrastinating. And no, they're not lazy, but they needed more time to put themselves back together again. I will also suggest some practical reframing for productivity which reduces the cognitive overload.

11 min - Burnout: The Modern EpidemicPreviously we talked about ADHD as a possibility of human evolution. Now what happens if we don't evolve in the same speed as the world. We created a system not everyone could survive in. Then, we 'BURN-OUT'. In this episode, I'll talk about why high performers crash in the hustle culture versus our human limits. I'll touch on silent burnout in students and professionals and what psychologists today labelled as "High-Functioning Depression".

12 min - ADHD: Disorder or Evolution in Motion?In this Season 3, I am going to get more personal and talk about something more personal to me and also challenges that I face daily with my son and students.

17 min - My Debilitated BrainIn this season 2, I will be talking about the battle of Anxiety Disorder which has always been swept under the rug or been viewed as either the sufferers are going crazy or they are attention seekers. I will address the fact that it is indeed an illness of the brain which must be addressed. In this first episode, we will understand that debilitating brain can also mean, the brain is in a delicate condition and must be dealt with delicately too.

About The Messy Dr. Sue
From the publisher's feed
I was a single mom for 6 years before I decided to remarry in 2024 to an amazing man who wants to be husband and a dad for my son. I have a Ph.D in Sociology and Anthropology. I worked a lot of jobs…
to make ends meet; like all parents, we give up everything we could have so that our children could have more opportunities in life. At the same time I was raising my 6-year old son alone since 2018 when he was about to turn 3. So I will usually talk about random things like single parenting, support from siblings, grandparents and other extended family members to build confidence in children. Since I work in the industry of growth and opportunities (Education) and mental health awareness. Most of the time just ranting about my day or sharing some methods to improve the upbringing of children in this 21st century. I try incorporating Stoicism as my way of life. I will always talk about life discovery towards a happier and more adaptable life. Since I grew up with ADHD, experience some mental breakdowns in life and dealt with people who struggle generally. Maybe try listening to me and see if you can relate to my ideas?
