Reading is great, but “Brain Fog” days hit differently. ☁️

When the words on the page just won’t stay still, or you’re stuck in bed during a flare, podcasts are the ultimate accessible way to stay connected.

I’ve rounded up 5 “hidden gem” podcasts hosted by people who actually live the Spoonie life.

No medical gaslighting here 🌟
just lived experience, AuDHD hacks, and real talk about chronic illness. 🎙️

On this re-released episode of @divergentconversations podcast we are talking about Autistic burnout, ADHD, and where they intersect.

Depression and burnout can trick the mind into believing, “It’s always been this way. It always will be.” But that’s not true. Zooming out shows the pattern: low seasons come and go. They’re not permanent.

Sometimes the most helpful thing is to honor the slowdown and trust that another season will come.

On this re-released episode of @divergentconversations podcast we are talking about Autistic burnout, ADHD, and where they intersect.

The closer we get to burnout, the harder it is to slow down. But pausing to take a step back can soften the reactivity and help us move from intention instead of urgency.

On this re-released episode of @divergentconversations podcast we chat with Brittany Goff about OCD.

Asking “why” is a form of self-advocacy for many of us. Understanding “why” often helps **builds self-trust, reduces overwhelm, and keeps those obsessive stories from filling in the gaps. But many of us were taught early on that asking questions was “disruptive.” Over time, that shuts down a core part of how we make sense of the world.

Answering the why can be powerful.

On this re-released episode of @divergentconversations podcast we chat with Brittany Goff about OCD.

OCD isn’t random. It comes from somewhere.

ICBT (Inference-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) looks at the story behind each obsession and the “why” behind it. Instead of calling these thoughts “intrusions,” ICBT sees them as inferences shaped by our history, experiences, and reasoning patterns.

For many, it can be a far more validating way to understand OCD. The mind isn’t malfunctioning, it’s trying to make sense of something.

On this re-released episode of @divergentconversations podcast we have Sheldon Gay (@sheldongayisbugn) as a guest to talk about giftedness.

There are a lot of similarities in discovery processes for Autistic people and Gifted people. For both, discovery can both bring a mix of clarity and overwhelm.
