Podcast Overview

Hi, I’m Jenn. I’m AuDHD and live with cPTSD, OCD, Ehlers Danlos syndrome, and POTS. I grew up in a religious cult and spent years searching for love and belonging. I eventually learned the home I was seeking wasn’t a place or another person, but a relationship with my body, nervous system, and myself. In this podcast, I share lived experiences of trauma, inner child care, and learning to give myself safety. I’m not a mental health professional, just a very marginalized engineer offering reflection and companionship. Content warnings provided.

One Person Can't Change the World (And That's the Point)

In this episode, I explore how letting go of the belief that I had to single-handedly change the world became the thing that finally let me exist without earning it. I reflect on how this shaped my journey toward being able to honestly say that home is wherever I am right now. I talk about:<ul><li>The myth of the individual effort (00:55)</li><li>Tired of celebrating great men (04:24)</li><li>Existing in systems that prefer we didn’t (09:07)</li></ul>This episode is created from an unedited writing fragment on my blog.

It Was Never Your Brain: Rethinking Mental Health, Trauma, and Who Gets to Define "Well"

In this episode, I explore how the mental health system's obsession with fixing individual brain chemistry kept me from understanding that my symptoms were never random, but rather rational responses to environments designed to harm people like me. I reflect on how this shaped my journey toward being able to honestly say that home is wherever I am right now. I talk about:<ol><li>What the system told me was wrong with me (00:55)</li><li>Why your brain was never the problem (12:47)</li><li>From "what's wrong with you" to "what was done to you” (20:00)</li></ol>This episode is created from an unedited writing fragment on my blog.

Why DEI Doesn't Work, And Was Never Supposed To

In this episode, I explore how DEI initiatives, despite their stated purpose, function as a sophisticated mechanism of the systems they claim to dismantle — selecting for compliance, gatekeeping dissent, and abandoning the most marginalized through the very architecture of participation. I reflect on how my experience of this shaped my journey toward being able to honestly say that home is wherever I am right now. I talk about:<ul><li>Renovation rather than demolition (00:55)</li></ul><ul><li>Filtering, gatekeeping, and compliance (10:34)</li></ul><ul><li>Moral indemnity and the road out (20:46)</li></ul>Resources mentioned:<ul><li><a href="https://neuroqueer.com/throw-away-the-masters-tools/" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://neuroqueer.com/throw-away-the-masters-tools/</a></li></ul>This episode is created from an unedited writing fragment on my blog.
