This week starts with Easter camping, mini golf, belly dancing, faffing, and a genuinely cursed run-in with paralysis ticks… then gets unexpectedly deep. 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 mas...

This podcast was created on the lands of the Ngunnawal, Wadawurrung and Dja Dja Wurrung Peoples. This week is pure listener-chaos in the best possible way. We asked for your stories and you absolutely delivered. We’re talking panic-bought concert tickets, masking too hard on first dates, accidentally sending a spicy text to the wrong person, rejection sensitivity turning a delayed reply into a ful...

This episode comes with a content warning. We talk about family violence, abusive relationships, trauma, bullying, anxiety, depression, CPTSD, psychiatric hospitalisation, and some pretty heavy mental health stuff.

After a whirlwind week at Sydney Mardi Gras, Callie and Jayne are back on the mics, feeling a little wrecked but ready to decompress.

In this episode of F Them Fish: AuDHD for Grownups , Callie Elward-Barrett chats with Claire and Amy from Empact Group in Canberra about what neuroaffirming work looks like when it’s not just a policy - it’s the culture, the office setup, and the day-to-day behaviours. We talk twice exceptionality (2e) and the very real grief of having a brilliant brain and executive functioning that sometimes blo...
