GUEST EPISODE - Waves of Wonder: A Neurodivergent Mermaid Tail - Episode 6

Did you know that Angelena's best friend is a mermaid?! In this week's episode we chat with Ariel about her mental health journey and neurodivergent experience. We touch on executive functioning and that relatable moment when you try ADHD meds for the first time and go from task paralysis to "holy shit I just did the thing without thinking!?" also Ariel makes j cry twice in this episode so theres that to look forward to lol

We talk about self-advocacy in mental health and that finding a doctor who works with you and practices with compassion is a game changer - and you deserve to be treated kindly! That goes for self-talk too! Also the power of finding community and support in shared experiences.

okay lets do rapid fire topics & thoughts that will make sense after you listen to the podcast:

we <3 Veggie Tales

SAY YES TO WOMENS HEALTH!!

lesbian launchers

wanting to participate in life

radical self love (what a silly goose thing to do)

notes...

(j's stream of conscioussness ... welp I spelled that wrong for sure, too many double letters, oh well, fuck it, anyway - HEY YOU , yeah you, may notice this description is a disorganized shit show. Well that's because j wrote it this time and not Ang - and this was also after j thought the editing was done for the evening and went out to enjoy a little plant medicine (wink wink) and then came back to realize SHIT I forgot the description. Didn't proof read it, I want to watch my movie and eat these raspberries. In the words of my MSc supervisor: always be closing (Vamosi et al. 2024), which roughly translates to: just fuckin send it bud. okay that seems good enough
