I recorded this one in Ubud on our last day before flying to Vietnam, and I'll be honest - I was procrasta-recording. My brain did not want to do the thing I was supposed to be doing, so I just hit record and let it flow.

Thirty days in Southeast Asia. Off Vyvanse cold turkey. Weaning off estrogen at the same time. I genuinely didn't know how this was going to go. Turns out, more okay than I expected - but not without the good, the bad, and the genuinely ugly.

- why I couldn't bring stimulant medication into Southeast Asia and what I decided to do about it
- the 47th birthday breakdown that finally cracked open my ADHD and autism diagnosis
- the estrogen-dopamine connection and why perimenopause hit so differently unmedicated
- why Bali's overstimulating chaos has actually felt more manageable than home did
- the push-pull between autistic routine needs and ADHD novelty hunger - and what happens when you feed the starving one
- sleep, movement, and what a genuinely rested brain feels like after years of not having one
- the emotional waves - grief, homesickness, midnight catastrophising - and learning to let them move through without gripping
