About this listen
In this episode, Niraj chats with Erin Mather about misophonia—a condition where specific sounds can trigger strong emotional reactions like anger, panic, or sadness. Erin shares how misophonia has affected her since the age of eight, from daily life and friendships to eating habits and social settings. She talks about the challenges of managing triggers like chewing and clinking cutlery, how she communicates her needs, and why being understood matters more than people getting everything right. Erin also reflects on what real support looks like—not perfection, but acceptance. This honest and personal conversation gives a much-needed insight into a condition that’s often misunderstood or overlooked, especially as an invisible disability. A must-listen for anyone wanting to support someone with misophonia.
