Nat and Kristen dig into the growing habit of self-diagnosing every uncomfortable feeling – from ‘I’m nervous about this event’ becoming ‘I have social anxiety’ to the ADHD label being casually dropped with zero diagnosis in sight.
They’re not here to dismiss real mental health struggles (big caveat, they make it very clear), but they do want to talk about what happens when discomfort gets a clinical name, kids get excused from exams because the classroom changed, and your entire personality becomes a list of conditions.

Why you always put everyone else first Why women are wired to put others first and how decades of conditioning pile on to make self-prioritisation feel uncomfortable.
