Mt Washmore
Hi Em, I just want to say THANK YOU for the advice/info you gave a couple of weeks ago about washing. Someone asked a question about where to put their washing line and you spoke about how you’d read an article saying that washing doesn’t have an end point. That rang so true for me. Every weekend I’d be smashing out load after load to get to the ‘bottom’ of the basket - only to have it full again. BUT - I ran out of steam when it came to putting it away (don’t even talk to me about ironing - invention of the patriarchy!) and we’d end up living out of washing baskets. Since listening to your explanation, I’ve changed my view. I now do one load - dry - put away. I’ve had empty washing baskets for TWO WEEKS!!! It’s a record! Thank you, thank you! BTW - loved you in Ballarat - Eostrogenia was a HIT!
Am I the asshole for not believing my psychologist?
I am being assessed for ADHD and ASD. After the interview with my parents for my ADHD, the psychologist said I don’t fit the criteria for an ADHD diagnosis because most of my symptoms have only appeared in adulthood, and that I more likely have ASD. I’ve always thought I was more ASD than ADHD so at first I just accepted this comment. However, I’ve often heard you mention that your ASD bullies your ADHD and wondered if this was happening to me. The psychologist said herself that I grew up in a structured, routine driven, organised household which suited me perfectly and it wasn’t until I was out in the world making my own decisions that my ADHD really started to show. Do I need to trust the assessment and decision or should I fight for what I believe? Or am I just a self-diagnosing, hypochondriac who wants the ADHD label for reasons I should probably investigate?
The other day the YouTube algorithm presented me with a video of you from your radio days with Harley. It was when Ed Sheeran popped in, you were very excited. It was a great segment! Halfway through a woman walks in and says something to you. Almost appears to be scolding you for something. I instantly put her on my shit list. I may have read the situation all wrong, but do you remember what she may have said? Loved Outgrown so much!! Thankyou (Jude).

Em and Rob Mills "Poor Men" episode
I am in a Rob Mills rabbit hole lol. I mean honestly what's not to love about a good looking guy who genuinely seems like a pretty good guy. I have been listening to this episode and I love Em a lot. You went pretty hard on Rob in this episode, I think I understand why you did this, and it was essential (I am also acknowledging that I have internalised misogyny without a doubt). "get to the point girl!" - My question is did this interview cause any issues between the two of you? Also acknowledging that I have asked this question before listening to your new episode with Rob, so you may cover it in this episode.
