 Welcome to episode 98. Today, I'm diving into one of my favourite topics - sex and relationships - but this time through the lens of my experience as an autistic woman. I'll be exploring how people with different neurotypes can better understand each other's needs through clear, honest communication, and we'll look at how expressing and listening to desires without shame or judgment can lead to more fulfilling sexual experiences. At its core, this episode is about connecting in a way that feels authentic to you and building relationships that bring joy and satisfaction. Let's dive in! In this episode: ·        How confidently addressing neurodivergence and embracing open conversations about your challenges and desires will always lead to better sex. ·        How do you know when someone fancies you? The challenge of understanding social cues and flirting as an autistic person. ·       Written communication is a powerful way to express your sexual desires and needs - often used in long-distance relationships but helpful for everyone, especially those with different neurotypes.   Mentioned in this episode: The hugely popular webinar ‘Sex and the Autistic Brain' with sex educator Ruth Ramsay and Helen Calvert: https://www.ruthramsay.com/autism   Season 5 of this podcast is sponsored by Stephanie Ward of The Spicy Brain Collective.

Episode Summary: A recent survey of 15,000 workers across 15 countries found that a quarter of all workers experienced burnout symptoms, but many don’t recognize it for what it is until after the crash has occurred. Join me with Dr. Jonathan Hoover, author of Stress Fracture: Your Ultimate Guide to Beating Burnout. Together, we will unpack the root causes of burnout and explore how it impacts physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Dr. Hoover shares actionable strategies and faith-based insights for recognizing stress fractures in life and taking steps to heal holistically. With practical advice, scientific understanding, and a focus on hope, this episode will equip you to overcome burnout and restore balance, resilience, and joy. Quotables from the episode: We can go from being okay to not being okay really quickly. Burnout is a legitimate path straight to depression. I found out that it’s (burnout) not a unique situation. It happens a lot, and especially even to people that we would look up to as incredibly productive people. It is very, very common, especially amongst highly productive individuals, because we have a tendency to even push through our body's normal signals that, hey, you need a rest. We kind of push through and go, I'll take time for a rest after I get this done, after I get that done and we don't take the time. But I think what is hard and your example of your father's experience is that often we don't see the early signs of burnout and we don't recognize it for what it is until after we've hit rock bottom. Burnout specifically tends to happen to people that are very driven. And we want to do lots of things and we want to take on the world and we dream big and we execute big. But sometimes we execute beyond what God is calling us to do. And we have to grieve the fact that there are lots of good things we could do but Paul taught us that not everything I could do is something I should do. There is something about the emotions we experience that are at the core of who we are as a person. And we sort of use that emotional capital in understanding how other people feel, sharing with them how we feel, using our emotions to achieve goals, exercising our emotions to be Christ -like. I mean, tells us about Jesus' emotion. So often we see that Jesus was compassionate. That is an emotion. And there is a season where Jesus wants to get off by himself because there wasn't even enough time for them to eat. Him and his disciples didn't even have enough time to eat. But what you see is that what was he tired of doing? He was giving of himself emotionally. There was this compassion, there was the desire to help people who were struggling. And we don't realize in our daily life how much emotional capital we are doling out from our emotional wallet. When it comes to caring about our kids, caring about our spouse, caring about our job, putting our passion and energy into our life's calling and At some point what can happen is we can write those emotional checks beyond what the balance is in the account That's what happens with burnout is and that's why it can start with such a benevolent and well-meaning direction in life. I want to give as much of myself as I can to as many people as I possibly can I want to accomplish big things, nothing wrong with any of that, until we write a check that's bigger than the balance. And then what happens is, this is something that we're still trying to figure out psychologically. There is a sort of, of last straw that happens with emotions. We haven't figured it out yet, but you go from being okay to not being okay very fast, very fast. And that is I think what is so challenging when you work with people as I do who are burned out is one day they're doing fine, and then the next day they're not. I like to treat the analog of going to the gym as a good way of thinking about burnout. So if I'm going to the gym and I'm hurting myself because I'm pushing myself beyond my limits. So let's say I go and I try to lift too much weight or something like that. I have three options for how to deal with it. I could, one, reduce the weight that I'm lifting. So sometimes when I work with people who are burned out, my first suggestion is let's try to figure out what we can delegate that you do. Let's figure out how to get you doing what only you can do and find a way to get people, other people to help you do what other people could do. Sometimes I have to work with people to say, well, the reason it's so difficult for you is it has to be perfect. Perfectionists tend to get burned out faster than anybody else. So we have to learn that science of good enough. Burnout can happen in a lot of arenas. It can happen in marriage. It doesn't have to be work. But whatever arena I'm burning out in, the question is, am I doing healthy things away from that arena to help me fight that more challenging battle in that one zone? Signs that you’re potentially facing burnout are massive exhaustion. There’s a difference between being exhausted and being tired. Tired is normal. Tired helps me know I need to rest. The difference between being tired and being exhausted is like when you’re driving down the road and the little gas light comes on, that's tired. If you are on the side of the road and literally your car won't start because there's no gas in it, that's exhausted. So there's a big difference between saying, "I really should rest," and saying, "I have nothing left to give anyone." That's exhaustion. When you start to feel like, "I don't have anything to give anybody," huge sign there, a burnout. So there are a lot of things that people wouldn't necessarily immediately tie to burnout that absolutely can be related. Digestive issues can be related to burnout, migraine headaches, shoulder and neck tension. Anything that ends in itis, pick up a medical manual when you're at your bookstore, look for anything that ends in itis. That is a bodily inflammation illness of some sort. Some, if it ends in itis, inflammation is at the root of it. And we know that stress causes bodily inflammation. So I make myself more likely to have those itis conditions by allowing stress to get out of hand. There are some cognitive things to look for. Burnout effects are working memory. So you have that kind of memory thing where it's sort of like a whiteboard. You can throw some numbers up there, an idea up there, but you don't need it long. You just need it for a second. And we have that in our memory where we can just hold something briefly. And when we're stressed out, that takes a huge hit. I mean, all of us have that experience where you're walking down the hallway and you're like, wait, what did I, what was I doing? Like, why did I come down this hallway? We all have that. But if it happens three or four times more than usual, so you constantly, like all the time, you're finding yourself going, well, I was thinking about something and I lost my train of thought. I was trying to walk down here. I forgot what I was going for. And you just realize, like, I don't remember things nearly as well as I normally do. That's a sign. Listen to people that love you. That's a big one. So when your spouse says, I'm worried about you, don't let that just roll off. Pay attention, right? And know that they care about you. The first thing I always tell anybody who's really thinking “I'm going through burnout” is you need to make three appointments. Just do it now. Just do it now. First appointment needs to be with your doctor. Get with your primary care physician, set up an appointment to go see them, get a checkup, let them know any symptoms you might be experiencing, physical symptoms, let them know that you're going through a season of stress. Have them check you out physically. Make an appointment with a therapist. Sit down with a counselor, a professional counselor, walk through what it is that you're going through. And then finally, make an appointment with a spiritual advisor. That could be your pastor to talk about your spiritual condition.

Welcome to episode 97. Have you ever felt unheard, misunderstood, or even dismissed in a healthcare setting? In this episode, I open up about the deeply frustrating and often traumatic experiences that neurodivergent individuals face when seeking medical care.

Welcome to episode 96. Today, we're diving deep into a crucial yet often misunderstood topic — autistic burnout. Drawing from my own personal experiences, this episode unpacks the emotional and physical toll of navigating a world not built for neurodivergent minds. We explore the vital need for extreme rest as a form of recovery, and the persistent self-doubt fuelled by societal pressures to "bounce back." Join me for an honest, insightful conversation about burnout, rest, and reclaiming compassion for ourselves. Let's dive in! In this episode: Understanding autistic burnout – How environments clash with neurodivergent needs and the exhaustion of constant adaptation. The importance of extreme rest – Why extreme rest is essential for healing, demanding a conscious choice to pause, reset, and prioritise well-being over daily responsibilities. Self-doubt and feeling like a fraud - How self-doubt fuels the fear of "faking it," and the need for excessive kindness in self-validation.   For a more in-depth look at my journey through autistic burnout, you can view my Burnout Diaries playlist here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLs0wogq1CFJnd4DOjIAwqj5biNaxjSO6w   This episode is brought to you in association with Liz Reddish of Devonwell House Connect here: https://www.devonwellhouse.co.uk/hhnsignup https://www.instagram.com/devonwellhouse/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/liz-reddish-79143795/   Season 5 of this podcast is sponsored by Stephanie Ward of The Spicy Brain Collective.

There is a significant impact of food on brain health and overall well-being, with great importance placed on nutrient-dense, anti-inflammatory foods. Unfortunately, nutrient levels of modern crops are declining, but regenerative agriculture is helping to restore food quality. Specific brain-boosting foods such as leafy greens, small cold-water fish, and polyphenol-rich plants have an ability to reduce neuroinflammation, protect against cognitive decline, and enhance mental clarity. And, ultimately, identifying whole food sources of essential nutrients will support your entire body. In this episode, I discuss, along with Dr. Jeff Bland and Dr. William Li, practical tips on choosing the most nutrient-dense foods and how to harness their benefits for overall health. Dr. Jeff Bland is the founder of Big Bold Health, a company on a mission to transform the way people think about one of nature's greatest innovations—the immune system. Through Big Bold Health, Dr. Bland is advocating for the power of Immuno-Rejuvenation to enhance immunity at a global level, often through the rediscovery of ancient food crops and superfoods. To get there, he is building a network of small farms and suppliers throughout the US that take a clear stance on regenerative agriculture, environmental stewardship, and planetary health. Dr. Bland's career in health spans more than 40 years. A nutritional biochemist by training, he began in academia as a university professor. He then spent three decades in the natural products industry, working alongside other pioneers. A lifelong educator, Dr. Bland has traveled the world many times over in his role as the “father of functional medicine.” In 1991, he and his wife, Susan, founded The Institute for Functional Medicine. In 2012, he founded another educational nonprofit called the Personalized Lifestyle Medicine Institute. Dr. Bland is the author of The Disease Delusion: Conquering the Causes of Chronic Illness for a Healthier, Longer, and Happier Life, as well as countless additional books and research papers. Dr. William Li is a world-renowned physician, scientist, speaker, and author of Eat to Beat Disease: The New Science of How Your Body Can Heal Itself. He is best known for leading the Angiogenesis Foundation. His groundbreaking work has impacted more than 70 diseases including cancer, diabetes, blindness, heart disease, and obesity. His TED Talk, Can We Eat to Starve Cancer? has garnered more than 11 million views, and he has appeared on The Dr. Oz Show, Martha Stewart Live, CNN, MSNBC, NPR, Voice of America, and has presented at the Vatican's Unite to Cure conference. An author of over 100 scientific publications in leading journals such as Science, The New England Journal of Medicine, The Lancet, and more, Dr. Li has served on the faculties of Harvard, Tufts, and Dartmouth Medical School.

Ditch the easy button! Modern life is designed for convenience—instant deliveries, endless entertainment, and dopamine hits on demand. But is all this ease actually making us unhappier? In this episode of Reflect Forward, I explore why doing hard things every day is the key to fulfillment, resilience, and long-term success. When we take the easy route, we rob ourselves of the growth, confidence, and sense of accomplishment that comes from pushing through discomfort. We also dive into the science of dopamine and how it drives our motivation. The problem? We're constantly overstimulating our brains with quick dopamine fixes—social media, substances, shopping, our phones—making it harder to stay focused, energized, and truly satisfied. I'll explain why working for your dopamine is essential and how a dopamine fast can reset your brain and reignite your motivation. Why You Should Listen • Understand how modern conveniences are rewiring your brain for instant gratification—and what to do about it • Learn how intentional discomfort makes you stronger, happier, and more resilient • Discover the power of dopamine fasting and how it can help you regain focus and motivation • Get actionable tips on how to push yourself, embrace the struggle, and build the life you want Notable Quotes • “Hard choices, easy life.

Froude Try This Challenge: 1. Start Small – Build Momentum with Micro-Wins 2. Embrace Discomfort – Train Your Brain for Growth 3.

The new 5 minute morning routine that will change the rest of your day. How different types of communication affects oxytocin - texting = 0, calling = some. How porn is affecting our brains and our relationships. Whether we have control over our willpower or not.

You've talked about your past and likely know a lot of the reasons why you've got issues (I say with love). The problem is that even though you might know the why (or think you do), you don't feel better. You continue to repeat unhealthy relationship cycles and you're still not maintaining your boundaries with others. Or maybe you're overeating or smoking too much pot. You know why you've got some dysfunctional habits, but that hasn't resulted in you healing emotionally. Talking about your childhood or a bad relationship, initially is great, but spending all your time on the why and not on the how is keeping you stuck. Healing yourself emotionally is comprised of three main areas: 1) learning self-regulation, 2) mindfulness, and 3) self-acceptance/self-compassion. Today we'll be focusing on that first step, self-regulation. Next week, we'll tackle mindfulness and self-acceptance/compassion.____________________________Full blog and show notes: https://abbymedcalf.com/how-to-heal-yourself-emotionally-mastering-self-regulation-for-a-happier-lifeGrab my FREE Feelings List: https://abbymedcalf.com/feelingslistLearn how to create and hold healthy, loving boundaries.

We go to the dentist, get our eyes checked, and get our cars inspected. These regularly scheduled health and safety audits let us know how we're doing. But we rarely audit how we spend our time. Sure, most of us have a calendar. Yet few of us study how these calendar events impact our happiness. We rarely track the connection between what we spend our time doing and how well we're flourishing. As a result, we can find ourselves feeling unhappy, frustrated, and what scientists call “time poor.” Researchers like Cassie Holmes want to change that. They've learned there's a strong connection between how we spend our time and how happy we feel. In her book, Happier Hour: How to Beat Distraction, Expand Your Time, and Focus on What Matters Most, she shares ways we can optimize our calendars for happiness, including ways to avoid distraction, extend joy, create a meaningful schedule, and avoid regret. Holmes' tips on time tracking and time auditing are simple and powerful. As the year draws to a close, this may be just the book you're looking for as we head into a new year.
