We talk escape plans, boundaries, saying no without guilt, and how the season can drain us long before the celebration even begins.

It’s a relatable, honest conversation for anyone who’s ever felt overwhelmed by the “fun” of festive expectations.

From textures to sounds to environments that feel just too much, we open up about what our nervous systems are really experiencing — and why accommodations and understanding make such a difference. As always, it’s real, vulnerable, and full of relatable moments.

We share our own experiences, challenge some of the narratives we’ve all heard far too often, and dig into why these misunderstandings stick around in the first place. Expect honesty, humour, a few tangents, and our usual unfiltered take on the realities of being neurodivergent.

Another big conversation—myth-busting edition.

In this episode of Big Not Small Talk, we’re joined by our guest Louis, who shares his lived experience of dyspraxia and autism. Together, we chat about what dyspraxia really looks like day to day—from coordination and executive functioning challenges to the unique strengths that often go unseen.

Louis opens up about how these experiences shape his daily life, work, and relationships, giving an honest and insightful look into navigating the world as someone who’s both autistic and dyspraxic.

As always, it’s real, unfiltered, and full of laughter, tangents, and heart. This conversation is all about learning, understanding, and celebrating neurodivergent perspectives—one big talk at a time.

In this episode of Big Not Small Talk, we dive into the topic of decluttering—not just our spaces, but our minds too. We talk about how our different neurodivergent experiences shape the way we tidy (or don’t tidy!), the challenges we face, and the moments of calm that come when things finally click into place.

💬 Expect real, relatable conversations as we unpack what clutter means to each of us—physically, mentally, and emotionally.

🎙️ Disclaimer: We’re testing out a new recording space this time, so you might notice a few background noises—and even hear a sweet little voice in the mix! One of our little ones was home recovering from being unwell. As always, this episode is raw, unfiltered, and full of real life—just how we like it.

In this episode of Big Not Small Talk, we open up about what neurodivergence looks like for each of us—our own unique flavours and how they shape the way we move through the world. From daily experiences to those “aha” moments, we share what it’s really like to live life with brains that work a little differently.

Sarah also shares a personal sensory story that brings the conversation to life, giving a glimpse into how neurodivergence can feel on the inside. Expect honesty, a few laughs, and our usual unfiltered tangents (plus a sprinkle of explicit language).

Come along as we keep exploring what it means to embrace our differences, one big conversation at a time.

Fair warning: it’s our debut, so things are still a bit rough around the edges (we’re learning as we go!), there’s some colourful language, and we definitely wander off on a few tangents. But that’s part of the fun—authentic, unfiltered, and unapologetically us.

Join us as we figure it out in real time and start building a space for honest, messy, big conversations.
