    ADHD: The Good, The Bad, and The Funny

They went a step beyond explaining and demonstrated their inability to stay on track, follow an outline, and pay attention to time. Please enjoy this extended episode as you delve into the mind of a neurodivergent woman in her 20s running on caffeine, adrenaline, and psychophparmeceuticals.  Don't forget to follow us on Instagram @freshoutofspoonspodcast and on twitter @outofspoonspod.  Send us a message or shout us out in your stories.

    Disability Visibility: Being a disabled and empowered woman in public

    This week Bree sits down with Bonnie from @BonnieDoes on Instagram, a disability advocate, blogger, a seamstress, crafter, small business owner, she models her own creations, and she is a babe with a mobility aid. Bonnie creates, styles, and models her own fantasy and historically inspired creations and post pictures of her with her walker and service dog.  Together we discuss accessible and sustainable fashion and the courage to express your true self. They dig into the intersectionality of disability and sexism on the internet, the street, the doctors office, and even in our own minds. Join us in our random tangents that laugh over dogs, relatives, and combating capitalist hustle culture. Follow Bonnie on her Instagram @BonnieDoes and visit her website, to read blog posts and shop her stunning creations.
