Puberty, pandas, and parental pressure—oh my! In this episode of Adventures in Vanderland, we unpack Pixar’s Turning Red through a neurodivergent lens. From Mei’s emotional overloads to the generational trauma tangled up in teen transformation, we explore how identity, autonomy, and big feelings collide when you're coming of age (and coming unhinged).

Tune in as Vanessa and Sylvia talk Y2K nostalgia, mother-daughter dynamics, and the beautifully messy magic of growing up neuro-spicy in a world that just wants you to calm down.

Disney Princesses, ADHD & Self-Actualization- can we really climb Maslow’s Pyramid?

Can people with ADHD ever reach self-actualization?

What about Disney Princesses (who, let’s be honest, are mostly neurodivergent)? That’s the question Vanessa and Sylvia tackle in this episode of Adventures in Vanderland.

And because it's Vanderland, this deep dive would not be complete without a few side quests into ranch dressing, narcissistic relationships, and impromptu singing— all while climbing (or maybe stumbling) up Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs.

What happens when two chaotic co-hosts book a podcast studio and show up with zero prep? You get unfiltered Disney madness, impromptu rankings, and a whole lot of neuro-spicy nonsense.

Expect tangents. Expect laughter. Expect absolutely no consistency in our scoring system. Welcome back to the rabbit hole.
