About this listen

Another dose of our weekly highs and lows, diving into the physical and emotional toll of health struggles, bureaucratic nightmares, and finding unexpected parenting wins.

• Claire discusses her weight loss journey and the exhaustion from medical treatments affecting her productivity and mental health
• Physical health limitations create additional challenges when managing daily tasks and household responsibilities
• Gen shares a series of bizarre administrative errors where she's "disappeared" from medical systems and appointment records
• The profound impact these errors have on someone with ADHD who already questions their perception of reality
• A parenting win using timer plugs to regulate screen time removes confrontation and battles with her neurodivergent daughter
• Creating alternative activities like "collage club" and outdoor play helped regulate her daughter without screens
• Finding solutions that work with neurodivergent needs rather than against them creates more harmony in the household

Raise a fist... That's it, right?! ... Sisters in chaos!
