This is the episode women whisper about but never get to hear.

Today, we’re talking openly about impulsive behaviour in neurodivergent women, the fast yeses, the risky sex, the quiet “no” we can’t say, the adrenaline-soaked moments, the times we travelled too soon, trusted too quickly, or ended up in situations we never planned but somehow found ourselves in.

We go into:
 • sexual impulsivity
 • sex in risky places
 • sex clubs
 • alcohol and dopamine
 • survival yeses
 • people-pleasing as danger
 • ADHD impulsivity
 • trauma responses
 • risky intimacy
 • why ND women get targeted
 • what changes when you finally meet someone safe

It’s raw, gentle, fiery, honest, and deeply validating.
