hello you sentient balls of stardust welcome to to the Struggle Care podcast. I'm your host

Casey Davis, and this is the podcast that doesn't care if you wash your face. I'm here with my good

friend, Dr. Leslie Cook. Say hello, Leslie. Hey, it's nice to be here again. If you're tuning in with us,

you probably heard Dr. Leslie Cook last week because I had her on to talk about

executive functioning. And I invited her back. And I had this great idea that we were going to talk

about webinars and competence. And then as we got closer to the recording, I remembered we

already did a recording on weaponized incompetence. And so I'm going to call an audible and pepper Leslie with Q&As that we're

going to answer together. I know that. It sounds great. I cannot wait. Excellent. Okay. So I just want to jump right

in because I've got some fascinating ones. Here we go. So as you know, much of my, I'm just going to start with a real spicy one. Is that okay? Yeah, that sounds great. All right. So as you know, my, my content on TikTok is primarily about home care, self-care, mental health, and self-compassion, right? All about sort of recognizing how many things in our life we feel

like failures about and then being able to internalize like that struggling with that thing

doesn't make me a failure. What often happens when I talk about this is I get a lot of

feedback that says like, oh, thank you. I feel so much better.

Thank you. I'm operating so much better in my home. Thank you. This really helps. But I occasionally

will get people that have a similar reaction to this commenter. Okay. And so she actually commented

twice. And the first time was when I asked for people who wanted to do Q&As, and this is what she said.

I think it's great to help people get past feelings of failing for not doing maximum levels of housework.

But I hope you also teach that when someone is using these struggle care techniques to survive,

they need to also be facing how to get out of crisis, not having more kids or adding to

their load while they forgive themselves for mess and allowing for doing less. They need to also get

real about getting their life to a more manageable place. All right. So here's the second comment.
