Creating Systems with ADHD Oct 07, 2021

Show notes

Today's episode comes as a special request from OG twitch stream buddy Tsukino, who wanted to know how to help teach someone how to create systems that work. Which then, of course, begs the question: what makes a good system? In this episode Cate and Erik open up about their struggles and successes in creating functional systems, and Cate finally comes clean about clutter.

A Very Casual Update Sep 30, 2021

Show notes

On this sick-day episode, Erik and Cate talk a little bit about their latest exploits, from conventions to guest appearances to ... punching people in the feet and whether it is, or is not, a "thing". I dunno, usually I write these in third person but I'm super sick and we're both exhausted, so just know this one is very meandering but includes some important life info about what life is gonna be like for us moving forward for awhile.

Working From Home (Kind Of) Sep 15, 2021

Show notes

In this episode, Cate and Erik attempt to have a conversation about working from home and accidentally find themselves embroiled in one of the toughest (yet most common) questions they get-- what do you do when you're not motivated? Cate and Erik wrestle with finding an answer that both accurately represents the challenges of functioning as an adult while also acknowledging the profound difficulties that come with executive disfunction (and, for us, depression). Spoilers: we do not come up with a concise answer.

FGF: Ben Silver Sep 10, 2021

Show notes

Privilege is real, and on this episode of Fan Girl Fridays, Erik is joined by Tiktoker and generally excellent human being @thisisbensilver, AKA Ben Silver. They talk about the inherent privilege in being white & male in America, and unpack a little bit about the important need for accountability and understanding the inherent privilege (and responsibility) that comes with being an ally.

Reading, Writing and Induction Heaters Sep 09, 2021

Show notes

CW: This episode contains discussions of statistics on suicide, self-harm and addiction.

In this episode, Cate and Erik (attempt to) talk about their personal relationships with reading and ADHD from their VASTLY differing perspectives. We discuss the statistics and studies surrounding the high percentages of co-morbidities of ADHD and learning disorders, and then we devolve into just the weirdest conversation about school supplies that you've ever heard. Also trapper keepers.

Is ADHD A Superpower? Sep 02, 2021

Show notes

It's very important for you to know going in that Erik recorded this ENTIRE EPISODE dressed as Captain America.
In what might *actually* be our most controversial episode ever, Cate and Erik talk about the ongoing debate in the ADHD community about whether or not calling ADHD a superpower is helpful or harmful. They also FINALLY disagree about something and get into a very not at all heated debate (which Cate immediately freaks out about because ~trauma~). Ultimately, we both agree that even if you don't agree with us, we wanted to do an episode to talk about our own thoughts and feelings on this often-asked question.

Fear and Self-Loathing (and also a brief mention of Las Vegas) Aug 26, 2021

Show notes

Content Warning: In this episode, Cate and Erik get pretty honest and open up about the often negative emotions and frustrations that come along with managing life with ADHD. We talk about some of our past trauma (well, mostly Cate) and how that has shaped our relationship to anger, stress and our personal frustration tolerance. Erik touches more on his relationship to music, and Cate VERY nearly gets away with avoiding the question altogether. Also there is a bird.
