Thoughts on Sobriety, Childhood Trauma, and ADHD

Hello! Im back, did you miss me??? I decided to sit down today and knock out a casual chat style episode to break my silent streak. This is sort of a prelude to the healing series as I talk about a lot of thoughts and feelings that have come up for me over the last year or so while healing, trying to understand myself better, and going on a sober journey. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - PAY ME, DADDY!

Support Palestine: Reposted with Update

Before diving into my healing from chronic illness series, I wanted to put out something to show support for Palestine given the horrific recent (and ongoing, and historical) actions of Israel. So, I am reposting the episode* I did with activist Jacob Z back in 2021 with an epilogue update, which starts at 1:16:30, to give an update on the situation and calls to action and additional resources for those who want to help.

I'm a Barbie Grrrl: My Exhaustion Over Leftist Barbie Discourse + Updates!!!

Hi Barbie! 👋 Whew, the Barbie movie really caused a stir on all sides of the political spectrum, didnt it! The right is losing their minds over this cornucopia of "toxic femininity" while the left (leftist women, specifically) cant seem to tear it apart fast enough for not being a radical feminist manifesto that will topple the patriarchy. Many of us, who enjoyed the film as a campy, queer, femme summer romp are tired. So tired. We just wanted to have fun and celebrate this cultural moment. So today, I go on a partially unhinged rant (that , in my defense, actually asked for) to talk about my feelings around the Barbie Discourse (TM), what the movie meant to me, and at not one but TWO points I shed my own real human tears about it.  Before all that, I give some MAJOR life updates and talk about whats up next for Pynk Spots, which is the release (finally!) of my healing journey series - a project that bloomed from one focused episode to what will now be a series of at least nine. Im scared, Im excited, Im ready to go on this journey with all of you and cant wait to share whats next! 🖤 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - PAY ME, DADDY!

I'm So Sick (yes this is a Flyleaf reference!)

Nic is sick! What else is new?! I talk about coming down with bronchitis and trying to process that emotionally. A loose, ramble-y episode about dealing with recurrent illness, attitudes about healing, irritation at the opinions of others, and a need for socialization while this bout of bronchitis reinforces my terror of catching COVID.

My Jury Duty Experience

After missing an episode in February, Im back with a juicy, chonky, three-hour epic tale for you all! I talk about serving on a jury for the first time - how it works (here in the U.S. and in California specifically), what the details of the case were, how we voted, my perception of this as a prison abolitionist, and my experience as an autistic juror.  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - PAY ME, DADDY!

How I'm Attempting to Not Feel Like Shit About Myself in 2023

Today is an unscripted ramble about my 2023 thoughts with the overall theme of Not Feeling Like Shit Anymore. The overarching approach is an attempt to accept my brain as it is, to work with it rather than be mad at it, and to embrace the slow approach to things. Ive been having horrid work anxiety, struggling to accept my natural ebbs and flows of productivity, and agonizing over what to do for my future, particularly how do I make my goals align with what I want my life to look like. Ive had a ton of fruitful conversations with friends about it all and have a lot of thoughts (though no answers!) about it all that I think will resonate with other folks. Id love to hear how you process all of this, if you resonate with anything Im going through, and what your plans are for 2023! Happy (Belated 🙃) New Year!

Buying Stuff, Hoarding Stuff, Work Sucks - Thoughts on Consumption

Hey my sweet little garbanzo beans! I managed to eek out a December episode between bouts of soul-crushing work, woohoo! This episode is loosely about buying stuff and having stuff, inspired by our last two book club books, conversations in Discord, and my current intense work schedule. This one was off-the-cuff, so less focused than other episodes but hopefully enjoyable nonetheless. Less answers, more pondering. See ya next year! 😜 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - PAY ME, DADDY!

How to Explain a Gap in Employment

Hi babes! I have an amazing question from Hilda today about how to explain a gap in employment from taking time off to just chill and not be crushed under capitalism for a cotdamn minute! As we all know, employers dont typically like hearing that you are an autonomous being who doesnt like working, so how do we explain time that we needed to take in between jobs to rest, heal, and/or relax? Pulling from my own experience and also my knowledge as someone who has worked closely with hiring managers and HR people, I give my best tips for interviewing for new jobs with a gap in employment, whether that gap is short or long, and whether you are old (like me! ;P) or young! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - PAY ME, DADDY!

I'm Back, Baby! Updates + Topic: How to Accept Help From Others

Mommys back! After my summer vaycay, Im here to give some health updates, decisions about the show, and then talk about the main topic which is how to handle receiving help without feeling like a piece of poopie. Under capitalism were taught that needing help is a weakness, a failure, a burden. But when you give help to someone else, it really sucks when they feel that way, right? So I speak today from my own experiences of both receiving and giving help, plus from conversations with friends, of how I approach help now and how Id love for the people I help to process that outreach.   Lastly, I have a call for mutual aid for my sister, looking for financial donations but moreso for professional connections and support, and for social media promotion. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - SUPPORT GINA!

023 Health Updates & Autistic Rants: SIBO, REM Sleep, and a Lack of Specialized Care

NOTES FROM NIC: -------------------- This week I take a break from advice to share some updates about my "healing journey" (barf) and share information Ive learned about what my root cause health issue might be as well as information Ive found out about the particularities around autism, digestion, and sleep. Relatedly, I also go on a rant or two about my continued frustrations at how autistic people are treated with the same protocols as neurotypicals, and how it is impossible to find medical professionals who understand and/or specialize in working with autistic adults. Im low on questions so if you have one, now would be a great time to ask! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - If you have a question for the show, please send it to the show name at gmail dot com or via Patreon or Discord (links below)! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - PAY ME, DADDY!
