Aspies Etc.
Aspies Etc.
Heidi, Victoria
Two aspies walk into a bar. One orders a mocktail, the other gets blackout drunk. Then they start a podcast. We are two nerdy women in STEM who really shouldn't be friends but are (so let's not question it). We talk about feelings, trauma, everyday wins, and thriving as minorities, because nothing's better than validation, support, and friendship. LGBTQ+ affirming, pro-science, feminist, Black Lives Matter, body positivity, all the good stuff. Basically, if you need a safe space to be yourself, welcome. We hope you feel comfortable here. - Heidi and Victoria
