In this discordant two-part episode, Cate and Erik have a ...pointed and passionate...conversation about the frustration of consistently having to navigate misinformation as educators and advocates. Cate rails against the broad generalities of "adhd mindreading" and he harm that narrative can do, and Erik gets vulnerable about what this work means to him. Later, Cate and Erik outline their 2022 tour schedules and do some announcing and explaining of where they'll be for the next few months.

In this episode, Cate and Erik review a new study by UKAAN, the United Kingdom's Adult ADHD organization and what it has to say about the challenges of being both intellectually gifted and having ADHD. They talk about their experiences on either end of the "gifted kid" spectrum, and what it's like to grow up with the expectation "gifted" brings, and the expectations we put on ourselves. Cate talks about boredom and self-governance, Erik talks motivation and self-defining, and also remembered to do the patreon song, you're welcome.

On this Very Special Episode of Infinite Quest, Cate and Erik ease back on into their regularly scheduled programming with an episode that mostly consists of Cate crying about how good dogs are. It's been a long couple of weeks, so this is mostly a life update, but there are also a few surprise announcements scattered within about some upcoming conventions and appearances that InfiniteQuest has got going on, along with a LOT of anxiety about dog-sitting.

Saying "No" is hard, but also often necessary, unless your grandmother asks you if you're having a good time at her birthday party, in which case you say "Yes!" in the most enthusiastic way possible, no exceptions. In this episode, Cate and Erik discuss their relationships with saying "no" and setting boundaries, and the struggle to balance being honest about your own needs, and accommodating the needs of others. Also, Erik takes a phone call and Cate shuts a door.

In this seven-tries-to-make-an-episode episode, Erik and Cate sit down to answer a listener question: "Every week, you remind us to love ourselves, what does that look like to you?" It turns out that Erik and Cate have *very* different takes on this question. They discuss loving themselves, what that looks like, the implications behind it, and how to define loving yourself when you're not quite sure what that means.

Impulsive decision-making is a hallmark of the ADHD brain. However, the grown-up reality is that sometimes, impulsive decisions affect more than just you. Sometimes, impulsive decisions can hurt others. In this episode, Cate and Erik sit down to discuss what happens when you make a mistake, when you rush into the "yes", when you overcommit or rush into something before doing your due diligence, and what effect that can have emotionally when the repercussions of those rash decisions come back to remind you of your previous shortcomings.

In this episode, Cate and Erik take on TIME ITSELF...well, at least as it relates to the experience of living with adult ADHD. They discuss some of the science and studies that have been done about the phenomenon of time perception and ADHD, and share more about their own frustrations and experiences of how time often exists and then suddenly doesn't. They also absolutely massacre the Patreon Song so sorry in advance this week.

In this episode, Cate decides to completely change the plan last minute, and Erik saves the day. They discuss the new DSM, the struggles of ADHD and the intersection between interoception and alexithymia, and what it's like to struggle to not only FEEL, but feel what you're feeling...while you're feeling other feelings.
