Hey. It's okay if you're listening to this lying down, half-asleep, or on 1.5x.

Spoons & Feelings is a community-minded podcast for folks with limited spoons and big feelings — whether you're disabled, chronically ill, autistic, ADHD, AuDHD, Deaf, blind, brain-injury survivor, living with chronic pain, long COVID, migraine, anxiety, depression, or a brain that just works different.

Content Notes for this episode:
No heavy topics. Just me introducing the show. No medical details, trauma stories, or graphic content. Mention of doctor's not believing patients (medical gaslighting), brief mention of burnout.

In this 10-minute intro:

• What "spoons" and "feelings" means here (energy + emotion)
