Conversations about the weight we carry: the pressure to succeed, the ache of loss, the mess of becoming, grounded in psychology and neuroscience. Hosted by Katarina Swetlikoff, a former athlete and pre-med student who knows what it’s like to look composed while quietly coming undone. Think of it as the big sister version of neuroscience: honest, human, and unafraid to say what others won’t. Follow along on Instagram → @thequietpartspod

    ep4: why you were missed or late dignosed with adhd

    Hi! I split Ep. 3 and Ep. 4 into two separate parts. In Ep. 3 we talked about ADHD—what’s happening in the brain and how that connects to motivation, attention, and memory as cognitive functions, not traits you can switch on and off. We also covered practical ways to support yourself. In this episode, we dive into the social and systemic barriers to accessing an ADHD diagnosis. Spoiler: if you’re not a 12-year-old hyperactive boy, getting properly assessed is much harder than it should be. Tune in to find out why.

    ep1: what if it's not your fault?

    What if it’s not your fault?Get to know me first, then follow along as I break down the difference between mental health and mental illness—and why it matters. Drawing from the Dual Continuum Model I studied in behavioural neuroendocrinology, we explore how language shapes perception. When the lines blur, we start pathologizing normal responses—and blaming ourselves for real illness.
