Welcome to It’s A Whole Thing, a happy place for hyperfixations. I’m your host, Charlye Michelle. Every first and third Wednesday of the week will bring a new episode and a new thing
I disappeared for a bit, and now I’m back.
Let’s talk about where I went, burnout, and perfectionism.
I also get sidetracked (duh) by Baldur’s Gate 3, D&D, voice acting, tiny house stuff, wish lists... so pretty normal for an episode of AWT.

Books and Reading - Macy Frazier
In this episode, I’m joined by Macy Frazier for her very first episode out of retirement. We talk about one of her great loves: reading. We get into how reading connects to neurodivergence, why editors deserve way more credit, the absolute terror of reading Misery, and why being forced to read in school ruins everything.
It’s a cozy, nerdy, unhinged, “let’s sit on the floor and talk about books” kind of episode. Bring snacks.
