The Dysregulated Podcast
I live with anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, OCD & BPD — and this podcast shares the hard-fought lessons I’ve learned along the way.
This is lived-experience mental health, told with complete honesty and zero filter, including the vulnerable and significant moments that continue to shape my life today.
Through personal reflections, therapy insights, interviews, nervous system regulation, and real-world struggles, I explore what it means to live with complex mental illness — grounded in psychological science and research.

In this lighthearted episode, I dive into a fun and unforgettable zoo adventure that almost got out of hand. In this episode I explore the quirks of stimming from autism, the unexpected reactions from zoo staff, and how a seemingly ordinary trip turned into a memorable experience!
