We share a birthday, a Christmas Eve hospital discharge, and the joy of eating salad again while mapping a year of change with tarot, grief work, and ADHD-friendly tools. Caregiving, body doubling, small money wins, and gentle plans build a steadier start to 2026.

• early discharge from hospital and fear mixed with relief
• Christmas recovery in bed with practical support
• food freedom after surgery and 30 plants a week
• tarot as a reflective framework for planning
• grief around family change and safe ways to cry
• pausing ADHD meds during rest and rebuilding capacity
• packing paralysis, body doubling, and micro-tasks
• selling vintage items for cash flow and momentum
• realistic plans for the pod while recovering

We’ll get back on it, guys. We’ll have a little schedule. It might be a bit under what we would normally do because of Claire's condition, but soon she’ll "be weller than anyone’s ever known me."

We record from Claire's hospital bed and unpack a rat scare. From wellies and curtain rods to humane traps and boundaries, we find practical ways to cope when chaos shows up.

• bedside check‑in and mood reset
• scratching sounds and sensory detail
• pumpkins, boxes, and the freeze response
• improvised plan with wellies and a curtain rod
• no rat found and what that means
• humane traps, repellents, and ethics
• clutter, ADHD, and hidden risks
• spiders, boundaries, and tolerance at home
• holiday prep, illness wobble, and gratitude
• strange Christmas memories and sign‑off mantra

Two ADHD mums trade stories of Christmas joy and discomfort, from lost presents and hangovers to noisy rooms, politics at the table, and the ache of watching global tragedy on a festive night. We land on boundaries, gentle traditions, and how divided families can multiply love.

• navigating sensory overload and family noise
• witnessing global grief while keeping local rituals
• feeling displaced in a partner’s family home
• calling out racism and unhelpful politics
• handling body image comments and comparisons
• gratitude for extended family who host and hold
• co‑parenting that adds care, not conflict
• simple rituals for neurodivergent‑friendly holidays
• boundaries for conversation, media, and energy

Raise a fist and say it with us. Sisters in chaos.
