  • Disability Isn't a Dirty Word Part 1
    Oct 19 2023

    In this mini episode, Bonnie shares a piece she wrote on her blog about how she thinks about the word disability. This is part 1 of 3.

    The words we use to describe our chronic health condition aren’t just words, they are bridges that connect us with others, tools that help us get what we need, and sources of power that give us strength to carry on. They can also be markers of shame and walls separating us from others. This is the first in a series of posts exploring different meanings of the controversial word "disability". My hope is that it will expand the way you think about your chronic health condition and help you feel more confident talking about yourself.

  • Whistle While You ADHD
    Aug 2 2023

    Welcome to North Stars Season 1: Brains and Bodies. It’s our first guest interview! To kick things off, we brought on Will for a chat about life with ADHD. He also happens to be an audiovisual tech expert, which is helpful when you’re learning how to make a podcast 🙂


    You’ll especially like this episode if:

    - You’re tired of ADHD always being framed as a problem to correct

    - The thought of learning another note-taking strategy or productivity hack makes you want to scream

    - You want to love and celebrate your brain just the way it is


    Join us for a playful meandering conversation about:

    - Growing up with ADHD

    - How he’s used his brain’s unique wiring as an asset in school and at work

    - The tendency to talk a lot + not have a “filter” and how to mitigate problems that can cause in relationships

    - Motivation: How to playfully trick yourself into doing things that are hard (instead of pushing or forcing)

    - Productivity: Getting more done by not trying to get more done


    And more!
