Processing ASD - What Does It All Mean For Me Now?
Hey! In this episode, I talk about how I am processing the news about having ASD as an older adult. I also talk about how my FOMO nature leads me to wonder whether other people noticed my traits, before I did, and how I'm a bit embarrassed about that, considering I'm a mental health professional.. and didn't pick up on it myself!

Family Loss, Pleurisy and a Ridiculous Job - Ramble
Hey! I'm glad to be back after a bit of a break. This episode is a bit ramble-y. I talk about some family loss over the last few months and also about how I'm managing to keep working in a 'ridiculous' but necessary job that I'm desperate to leave and pursue my dream job. The dream job as a full-time podcaster will eventually become my means of financial survival and fulfillment for me, when I eventually arrive in France.
