Chiming In with Elyse and David Elyse and David chime in on all things life — growing up, marriage, aging, parenting, friendship, creativity, and the quiet truths we all share. With humor, honesty, and grounded wisdom, they explore how awareness turns life’s ups and downs into the magic we think we’re missing. Because in this wild world of uncertainty, maybe the only thing we know for sure is that we’re all in it together.

    “Normal” Does Not Exist (Part 2)

    What does it actually feel like to experience the world differently? 🤍 In Part 2 of the “Normal does not exist” conversation, we move beyond the idea of what’s normal and into the lived experience of being neurodivergent — including autism, masking, high sensitivity, and the unique ways people navigate everyday life. Elyse reflects on how her mind works — from extraordinary pattern recognition and emotional awareness to the ways some things have been extra challenging. We also explore: • Masking — what it is and why it can be exhausting • Sensory sensitivities (light, noise, environment) • Stimming and self-soothing behaviors • The gap between strengths and challenges • Why some abilities don’t feel “special” from the inside The conversation expands into something bigger — the idea that neurodivergence is not a disorder to fix, but a different way of being. A different way of sensing, connecting, and moving through the world. We also touch on the emotional impact of seeing representation, the importance of safe and accepting environments, and how many people have spent years hiding parts of themselves just to fit in. This is a conversation about awareness, acceptance, and what becomes possible when we stop forcing ourselves into a definition of “normal.” Part 2 of 2. #neurodivergent #autismawareness #masking #highlysensitiveperson #mentalhealthawareness #personalgrowth #identity #chiminginpodcast

    There Is No “Normal”: Late-Diagnosed Autism, Neurodivergence & Identity (Part 1)

    What does “normal” even mean — and who gets to define it? 🤍 In this first part of a two-part conversation, we explore neurodivergence, late-diagnosed autism, and the idea that “normal” may not exist at all. Elyse shares her personal challenges and reflections, including what it feels like to move through the world with heightened awareness, sensitivity to energy, and a tendency to observe more than participate — until the right conversation opens everything up. We talk about: • The concept of “spoons” and how everyday tasks can feel draining 🥄 • The highly sensitive person and emotional overwhelm • Why the spectrum is not a straight line — but more like a full circle • The gap between strengths and challenges • Late diagnosis and the experience of finally recognizing yourself We also reference the work of Katherine May and resources like Embrace-autism.com that helped bring clarity and insight. This is a conversation about identity, awareness, and rethinking how we understand ourselves and each other. Part 1 of 2.

    Are Labels Helpful or Harmful? (And Why They Might Feel Like A Cage)

    Some labels help us feel seen. Some labels help us understand each other. And some… feel like a cage. In this episode, we talk about what happens when there’s no single word that fits who you are. When being labeled feels more like being reduced. We explore: ✨ When labels are helpful vs. harmful ✨ Why invisible differences can feel as hard as visible ones ✨ Whether sharing your “differences” is important… or nobody’s business ✨ How assumptions are made with or without labels anyway Elyse shares her experience of being label-averse — not because nothing fits, but because no one word feels big enough. And maybe that’s true for more of us than we realize. What if instead of labeling each other… we stayed curious? 🎧 Listen wherever you get your podcasts 💬 We’d love to hear — what’s a label you’ve struggled with?

    How To Change Your Inner-Critic: A Deep Dive Into Self-Talk And The Work

    How much of what we believe is actually true? 💭 By popular request, we’re taking a deeper dive into self-talk, the inner critic, and the stories we tell ourselves every day. In this episode, we walk step by step through Byron Katie’s method known as The Work — a simple but powerful framework for questioning stressful thoughts and shifting perspective. We share real-life examples (both personal and everyday situations) and break down how noticing and naming your inner voice can change your experience and bring peace instead of stress. Along the way, we also find ourselves talking about Waze and whether anyone actually presses those buttons 😅

    Our Favorite Childhood Candy And “Phantom Urgency”: Why We Feel Like Time Is Running Out

    Why do so many of us feel like we’re running out of time? ⏳ In this episode, we take a trip down memory lane — from childhood candy 🍬 and Little Debbie treats to the commercials and moments that shaped how we remember growing up. But what starts as nostalgia turns into something deeper: the idea of “phantom urgency” — that constant feeling that we need to hurry, do more, and somehow keep up before time runs out. We talk about where that feeling comes from, why it shows up so strongly, and how it might be shaping the way we live our lives today. We also touch on the work of Byron Katie and her powerful framework for questioning the thoughts that create stress and urgency — and how shifting those thoughts can change everything 💭✨ #phantomurgency #byronkatie #thework #nostalgiccandy

    When Travel Goes Wrong: Finding Calm in the Chaos

As well as finding the beauty in cruising 🛳️. There’s something to be said for having your accommodations move with you wherever you go.

    From Memory to Memoir: Growing Up in the 70s & 80s and the Red Flags We Missed

    In this episode we reflect on growing up in the 70s and 80s and Elyse’s remarkable ability to recall vivid details from her early life. Those small moments — the sights, sounds, and feelings of childhood — have become the foundation of her memoir writing. As we explore how memory turns into story, another theme begins to surface: many girls of our generation Gen X weren’t taught to recognize red flags, set boundaries, or navigate complicated relationships. We talk about the independence and risk-taking of that era, the cultural silence around difficult conversations, and how many parents today are trying to raise their children differently — with more openness around relationships, safety, and self-trust.
