In this episode, we dive straight into the coping mechanisms we use every day to function (and survive). We discuss both helpful and harmful ways to dissociate and find comfort in the chaos (video games, shopping, tv shows, sleep) especially if you're neurodivergent. We focus on taking care of our mental health, the importance of therapy and meds, and the struggles of actually obtaining the diagnosis/medication you need. We also highlight the emotional impact of the pandemic—especially when it comes to kids.

It's time for us to talk about everyone's favorite manipulative sitcom family: The Work Family. We'll give you tips on avoiding workplaces that mirror the most unhealthy family dynamics, dealing with companies that expect you to just drink the Kool-Aid (especially startups), and share our own personal stories. Plus, we talk about the importance of pay transparency and how to advocate for yourself when you need it most.
