This one is a solo. No guest, no framework, no tidy resolution. Just Kath, talking honestly about the five weeks that got away from her, a house move, a stint in hospital with her youngest Odin, ADHD medication changes that stripped away the adrenaline she'd been unknowingly running on, and the pattern underneath all of it: that survival mode had quietly become her baseline.

In this episode

What happens when ADHD medication lowers your adrenaline and exposes that you had no real baseline. The grief of having to admit you need to stop. Moving houses (her 27th move in 13 years). Odin's hospital admission and navigating the medical system as a mother of a complex-needs child. Letting go of things you can't control. The shame spiral of "you're going to fail because you took a break."

And then: something genuinely exciting that Kath has built for mothers.
