    Okay But Also... High School Stressed Us Out

    Although they might not agree on what the right way to cram homework into a busy schedule was or what color binder math belonged in, Mo and Brigid can agree that high school was stressful. Deciding to go to school sick or tired because you've "felt worse," never quite grasping the art of saying "no" to faculty and staff, and simply... "doin' too much" is all too familiar to a neurodivergent high school student with chronic illness. Listen in to Mo (31) and Brigid (25) discuss the similarities and differences of their academic experiences often in the same buildings and with the same teachers- just six years apart.

    Okay But Also... Trying Our Best and Talking Tattoos

    Summer draws to a close and as fall begins, self-care is mainly a game of "trying your best." This week, Mo and Brigid attempt to start a back to school episode, but get caught up in the nostalgia. What even is nostalgia? Eating a familiar sweet treat from childhood even if it's much sweeter than your adult palate can handle? DIY-ing a throwback birthday party? Getting your favorite childhood memories tattooed? How about just simply catching up with old friends? It's sometimes hard to tell when so much of your young life is clouded by medical trauma-induced memory loss, but these types of conversations are the perfect opening for relearning the past. Brigid (25) and Mo (31) share their individual experiences getting tattoos with skin differences, pain tolerances, and neurodivergent brains.

    Okay But Also... Mo Introduces Herself

    Experience as a pediatric nurse, life with a rare connective tissue disorder, and a stress ball that's been stressed juuuuuust right. Join Mo as she takes her turn in the spotlight to introduce herself to the podcast and share what she keeps in her bag that follows her everywhere (even if it's just from her bed to the couch). Born naturally flipping the world off, Mo has always approached life with spunk, humor, and courage. The original 2 hour recorded conversation between Mo (31) and Brigid (25) has been edited into two parts with an episode designated to each of them.

    Okay But Also... Brigid Introduces Herself

    A lifetime of eczema, a journey to becoming an art therapist, and bag full of... other smaller bags? Brigid takes a turn in the spotlight to introduce herself in the only way these sisters know how: by oversharing every diagnosis and treatment plan she's ever been given! The Okay But Also duo may not have had the "typical" introduction to their podcast, but you'll come to learn there's not much in their life experiences that can be described as "typical." The original 2 hour recorded conversation between Mo (31) and Brigid (25) has been edited into two parts with an episode designated to each sister. Trigger Warning: needles/descriptive explanation of injectable medication usage between 21:00 and 22:00

    Okay But Also... We Miss Sharing A Room

    Sisters don't always love sharing a room, but it's the one place arguments over closet space and bright reading lights can turn into Christmas Eve sleepovers, shared clothes, and... a podcast? Join Brigid and Mo in their childhood bedroom that has since been transformed into Mo's current bedroom as they reminisce about the place it all started.
