Moving house has sent Kate into a deep, all-consuming hyperfocus on getting rid of stuff. Not the moving part – the chucking part.

In this episode, Kate and Nic talk about why letting go of objects can be surprisingly hard for neurodivergent people, from sentimentality and anthropomorphising things, to executive function, recycling rules, inherited scarcity thinking and the sheer logistics of “doing the thing”.

They explore hoarding versus minimalism, ADHD deadlines, Swedish death cleaning, archive boxes (yes, archive boxes), and why knowing something is there can be just as stressful as seeing it.

Along the way, they share practical reflections, gentle validation, and a few new mantras for life, including:

If in doubt, hoy it out.
If you don’t know, let it go.

As ever, this isn’t about doing decluttering “right”. It’s about being kind to yourself while navigating change, overwhelm, and the complicated emotional lives of objects.

It’s 2026, Kate is in a teddy bear onesie, and we are asking a big question: am I actually ill, or is this burnout in disguise?

In this episode, Nic and Kate talk about that fuzzy overlap between being physically unwell and being completely out of spoons. Kate shares how a virus forced her to confront her own ideas about rest, why staying in bed with comfort TV can still feel like a battle, and how Claude the AI ended up giving very sensible sick day advice.

If you have ever wondered whether you are allowed to stop, or felt guilty for not being “ill enough”, this one is for you.

It’s Christmas Day and Nic and Kate are taking a festive detour: re-imagining A Christmas Carol through a neurodivergent lens.

Inspired by a brilliant story written by Nic’s child when they were 10, this episode explores the ghosts of Autistic Past, Present, and Future: from Victorian institutions and ABA therapy to today’s endless diagnosis debates and the worrying rise of “neurodiversity-lite.”

Nic and Kate talk about what a truly autistic-friendly future could look like, why advocacy feels like it’s at a crossroads, and how hope still sits underneath all the frustration.

Perfect listening if you’re hiding in the bathroom for a sensory break, escaping the dinner table, or just fancy spending Christmas with two familiar voices.

Merry Christmas!
