Send Me a Message! I'm back! It's been a little while between episodes, but in this check-in, I bring you along for the ride—literally. I talk about my recent solo road trip to the Gold Coast (via the very chill detour through Nimbin) to watch my beloved Newcastle Knights take on the Titans. The trip was meant to help me slow down and de-stress... but let's be real, it didn't quite go as planned.From battling anxiety on the open road to grappling with post-trip blues (and watching the Knights cop a flogging), this episode unpacks how even our best intentions to rest can get derailed by a dysregulated nervous system. I also touch on CBD oil, the struggle of feeling anxious before and after the trip, and how this lingering anxiety has been nudging me toward a depressive episode I'm now trying to fight off.This one's raw, reflective, and full of the honesty you've come to expect from The Dysregulated Podcast. If you've ever tried to give yourself a break and still ended up overwhelmed, this one's for you.--Follow my journey living with mental illness and the hard-fought lessons learned along the way.

Less than two months ago, Auckland appeared ready to change its rubbish collection to a fortnightly service. But now councillors have voted to trial the change instead of implementing it or retaining the weekly service. It will start two-weekly collections in up to three areas for up to 4000 households, before deciding on region-wide rollout. Manurewa-Papakura Ward councillor Angela Dalton joined Francesca Rudkin. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Earlier this week, in response to councillor feedback, Mayor Wayne Brown announced a new committee structure for Auckland Council and made changes to the Auckland Transport Board. This restructuring intends to streamline decision-making and put Council's focus on delivering the new Long-term Plan.  Additionally, the decision on a proposal to move rubbish bin collection to a fortnightly service could be decided next month.  The proposal is part of Council's Waste Management and Minimisation Plan to reduce waste and carbon emissions. Producer Sofia asked Councillor Shane Henderson about both of these topics as well as what the newly announced National Land Transport Programme means for Auckland.
