    Are Yapping Friends the Best Kind of Friends? (ft. Sam Capaldi)

    Does Decluttering Your Space Have to Feel Like Climbing Mount Everest? (ft. Candace Evia)

    Ever start "cleaning your closet" and somehow end up sitting on the floor in a feather boa listening to old Avril Lavigne CDs, surrounded by stuff you forgot you owned? This week on I'm Not Crazy, Right?, Hillary sits down with Candace Evia, professional organizer and ADHD decluttering coach behind Simply Minimally Me, to talk about why traditional organizing advice fails ADHD brains and what actually works instead. Candace breaks down her go-to method for decision paralysis (floor, surfaces, details), why "dress for comfort and potential" should be your new closet mantra, and how to tell the difference between stuff you love and stuff you're keeping because of guilt or an old identity you've outgrown.

    Is Having ADHD Way More Normal Than I Thought?

    Hillary shares her personal journey to being diagnosed with adult ADHD — from the terrifying post-COVID brain fog and cognitive symptoms that started it all, to the long, frustrating road of doctors, testing, and misdiagnosis before finally getting answers. She opens up about the everyday realities of living with ADHD that rarely get talked about: masking, hyperfixation, the "ADHD tax," forgetting to eat, struggling to text back, and the exhaustion of constantly explaining yourself to people who don't understand how your brain works. If you've ever wondered whether you might have ADHD, or you're already diagnosed and looking to feel less alone, this honest, unscripted episode is for you. Tune in for new episodes every Thursday!

    Is Everyone Mad at Me?

    Are Women Punished for Having Too Much Ambition? (ft. Stefanie O'Connell)

    This week, host Hillary Bautch is joined by award-winning journalist Stefanie O'Connell, author of #TheAmbitionPenalty. They unpack why women get told they're not ambitious enough — from the double standards around traits like "assertive" and "independent," to "you're never quite right" bias in leadership, Queen Bee Syndrome, the unpaid "second shift" that costs women a month of leisure time a year, and how girlboss and tradwife culture sell the same lie that women are their own biggest obstacle.

    Are Women Taught to Apologize for Just...Existing? (ft. Vallean J.)

    This week, Hillary sits down with Vallean J. — journalist, author (including her latest novel Her Worst Enemy), and founder of the Young Readers Literacy Experience and the Dear Me Experience — to talk about the reflex so many women share: saying "sorry" for things that need zero apology.

    Why Are Women Gaslit Into Thinking Their Bodies Are Lying to Them? (ft. Addy Kircher)

    If you've ever been told "that's not a real thing" by a doctor... this one's for you. Hillary sits down with her work-wife-turned-real-life-bestie Addy for a vulnerable story that she's never shared publicly: her years-long fight to get diagnosed with endometriosis. From being put on the pill as a teenager to "fix" mystery pain, to collapsing and ending up in the ER, to a doctor finally saying six words that changed everything — "I believe you, and I'm sorry" — this conversation is about what happens when women stop doubting themselves and start trusting their own bodies. In this episode: Getting dismissed by doctors for years before getting answersWhy endometriosis can only be diagnosed through surgery (yes, really)Trying every diet, every elimination protocol, every "fix" — before realizing the real problem was never being believedWhat it felt like to finally hear "I'm sorry you went through that"This one's raw, it's real, and it's a reminder: you know your body. Trust yourself. Enjoy! People mentioned: Dr. Camran Nezhat, MD @camrannezhatmd @sophie.richards @found.womenshealth NOTE: One of the surgeries mentioned was miscalled "abalation" - the correct term is "ablation."

    Have Men Written By Women Made the Modern Day Fairytale Feel More Attainable?

    We grew up on Cinderella and boombox-outside-the-window rom-coms — love as a rescue mission, not a partnership. Then reality hit, and we were told to just lower our standards. But what if the standard was never the problem? This week Hillary breaks down why male characters written by women (hi, Garrett Graham 👀) aren't setting an unrealistic bar — they're proof the bar was reachable all along. We're talking book boyfriends, real-life "men written by women," and why effort has become the new grand gesture. Enjoy! Tune in for new episodes every Thursday!
