Hits from the Bong: What Weed, Hormones, ADHD, and My Brain Have in Common
It’s a Saturday night in 1993. I’m lying in a field, high on hash, listening to The Doors, and the universe makes perfect sense. Twenty years later, weed sends me into a full-blown existential meltdown in a car park after an Eminem gig. What changed? Spoiler: not just the weed — my hormones, my neurodivergent brain, and my inflamed immune system all RSVP’d to the chaos.”
This isn’t just a tale of stoner misadventure — it’s a deep dive into how neurodivergence, menopause, and autoimmune conditions form the perfect storm of chemical confusion. With personal stories, hard science, and a free symptom decoder you can use right now, this one’s for anyone who’s ever felt betrayed by their own biochemistry.
The Menopause Manifesto: 7 F*ck-That Tips for Surviving This Hormonal Hellstorm
“I tried the herbal teas. I tried deep breathing. I even downloaded an app that told me to imagine I was a leaf floating on a stream. Spoiler: I am not a leaf. I am a peri-menopausal woman on the edge of setting fire to my bra and the dishwasher.
So here’s what I wish someone had told me:

Why are so many Gen X women only now realizing they’re neurodivergent?

Fifty & Unfiltered – Embracing My Neurodivergent Journey
Turning fifty as a neurodivergent woman feels like finally taking a deep breath after decades of holding it in. For years, I masked, molded, and tried to fit into a world that wasn’t built for my brain. But now? I’m done shrinking myself.
At fifty, I’ve learned that my intensity, my deep emotions, my scattered-yet-brilliant way of thinking—these aren’t flaws. They are part of who I am, and I refuse to apologize for them anymore.
🔹 What I wish I knew sooner: You are not “too much.” You are not broken. You are not here to meet the expectations of people who don’t understand you.
Here’s to living unfiltered, embracing every neurodivergent quirk, and taking up space unapologetically.
