Jayne shares a powerful realisation about the idea of being “enough” after years of feeling either too much or not enough, and together we unpack masking, self-worth, fibro fog, apologising for existing, and what it means to be the right amount of you.</p><p><br></p><p>Then Callie goes full truth-bomb on the neurodivergent drive for efficiency, why inefficiency can feel physically painful, and how leaving traditional work has exposed just how much executive function can be quietly held up by workplace structure. If you’ve ever looked high-functioning on the outside while privately relying on guard rails to keep life moving, this episode will probably hit a nerve. In a good way. Also, yes, there is a side quest about pink flip phones.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Timestamps</strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>00:10</strong> Welcome</p><p><strong>00:48</strong> Belly dance teacher era, camping, and post-holiday faffing</p><p><strong>03:30</strong> Paralysis ticks, dog panic, and Australia's hostile wildlife</p><p><strong>07:31</strong> Fibro flare-ups and the first big question: what does 'enough' even mean?</p><p><strong>10:32</strong> Why 'enough' is a social construct built around masking</p><p><strong>16:02</strong> Fibro fog, apologising for your brain and body, and self-protection</p><p><strong>17:36</strong> The perfect amount of Jayne, the perfect amount of Callie, and flexible authenticity</p><p><strong>22:49</strong> The relentless itch for efficiency and why inefficiency feels painful</p><p><strong>29:07</strong> Pink Motorola flip phones and the chaos of changing systems</p><p><strong>31:37</strong> Leaving structured work and suddenly confronting executive function failures</p><p><strong>37:29</strong> Homework: go binge <em>Beth’s Dead</em> before next week</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Get in touch</strong></p><p>Got a question, story, or hot take for the pod?
