Changing my world

Changing my world

TRIGGER WARNING: This podcast episode mentions suicidal ideation.

In this episode, Catherine is joined by Jo Feaster for an honest and deeply reflective conversation about lived experience, identity, and what it can mean to finally make sense of yourself later in life as an autistic and bipolar woman, along with the small, real life supports and accommodations that help power self-acceptance, build stability and live well, and as Jo says, “help to change my world”.

Their conversation explores:

- What finally helped Jo feel seen and understood, and the challenges of living with co-occurring conditions alongside being autistic, and the additional stigma associated with them.

- The importance of community, belonging, role models and peer support.

- The role of writing and advocacy as tools for mental health and challenging societal stigma.

- Insights into the dynamics of family support and the impact of personal relationships on mental health.

- The transformative power of self-acceptance and the significance of self-care as a parent carer.

It’s a compassionate, hopeful and practical episode for anyone navigating late identification, multiple neurodivergence and mental health, and / or supporting a loved one through crisis and recovery.
