About this listen
In this episode of Up Past Bedtime, I’m giving you a bit of a life update because honestly, a lot has been going on behind the scenes.
I open up about how co-parenting is going, including how we recently navigated Bennie’s birthday with a shared celebration and a joint party. It’s not always easy, but I’m really proud of the respectful relationship we’ve managed to build because at the end of the day, our girls come first.
I also touch on the divorce process. While I can’t legally share much of the detail (which is frustrating), I do talk about how emotionally exhausting it’s been and how much empathy I have for anyone else walking this path.
From there, I dive into something that’s been coming up more recently: the process of being diagnosed with PMDD. It’s been a lot to take in, especially while already navigating my ADHD and autism diagnoses. I talk about what PMDD looks like for me, how it overlaps with neurodivergence, and the mental load of feeling like there’s always something new to figure out about myself.
This is definitely one of those chats where I’m still in the thick of it, but I’m trying to be honest about how I’m showing up, protecting my peace, and leaning into self-care where I can. If you’re going through your own hard season, I hope this episode makes you feel a little less alone.
