We all have things we are obsessed with, and I have taken to the mic to share about mine! From mental health matters to fandom, the spectrum of hyperfixations can be random and unrelated because you never know what may grab your attention and refuse to let go.
Being autistic, a hyperfixation for me can last for months or just a few days. But it's not just about me. I'll be having guests on periodically to "geek out" over what their hyperfixation is so we can celebrate and embrace the things we are passionate about in the absence of judgement. You just may learn something new along the way too!

From undergoing a partial hysterectomy to diving headfirst into a brand-new fandom and hyperfixation, life has been anything but boring. Somewhere along the way, I also enrolled in a doctorate program, started a nonprofit, began a new job as a Peer Support Specialist, and decided to launch a YouTube channel—because apparently, I wasn't busy enough! In this comeback episode, I’m spilling all the updates, shar...

Either way, if a child is happy, that's what matters with Barbie. Suppor...

On today's episode: from Chat GPT to chat rooms on the original AOL, I showcase how a simple thought can spiral into hyperfixating!
