Pull on your comfy (or compression) socks and grab a warm drink for this episode! Mo (31) and Brigid (25) share their ideal fall days and reminisce on Halloween traditions of the past and present. The season of fall brings movies, costumes, iconic decor and the occasional asthma attack. The changing of seasons can bring a lot of uncertainty with chronic and mental illness, but these sisters are choosing to spend this fall focused on self-care, embracing nostalgia, and never EVER watching a true horror movie again.

Although they might not agree on what the right way to cram homework into a busy schedule was or what color binder math belonged in, Mo and Brigid can agree that high school was stressful. Deciding to go to school sick or tired because you've "felt worse," never quite grasping the art of saying "no" to faculty and staff, and simply... "doin' too much" is all too familiar to a neurodivergent high school student with chronic illness. Listen in to Mo (31) and Brigid (25) discuss the similarities and differences of their academic experiences often in the same buildings and with the same teachers- just six years apart.

Summer draws to a close and as fall begins, self-care is mainly a game of "trying your best." This week, Mo and Brigid attempt to start a back to school episode, but get caught up in the nostalgia. What even is nostalgia? Eating a familiar sweet treat from childhood even if it's much sweeter than your adult palate can handle? DIY-ing a throwback birthday party? Getting your favorite childhood memories tattooed? How about just simply catching up with old friends? It's sometimes hard to tell when so much of your young life is clouded by medical trauma-induced memory loss, but these types of conversations are the perfect opening for relearning the past.

Brigid (25) and Mo (31) share their individual experiences getting tattoos with skin differences, pain tolerances, and neurodivergent brains.
