Welcome to the terrain of mind fcks we’re actively unfcking from LOL This “unf*ckery” has a name.. it’s called an ontological shock, a new-to-me word (thanks tiff) that describes what happens when our foundational beliefs about who we are and our place within the universe unravel leaving us exposed to the void. It's a dizzying and disorienting experience, but ultimately an important catalyst for profound growth and understanding. Tune into this unfiltered conversation with Tiff Dee to unpack what it really means to decolonize our minds, especially as late-identified neurodivergent women navigating motherhood, business, and a world not built for our brains or bodies We get into the messy, layered truths of:Neurodivergence: nervous system disability or superpower?Postpartum sensitivity + sensory overwhelmGendered programming and toxic feminism Hyper-independence masked as empowermentRadicalization through motherhood, and witnessing a genocide front and centre on the world stage The grief we hold as former nurses/teachers unconsciously reinforcing an oppressive systemThe sneaky ADHD tax + time blindnessEvolution, burnout, and becoming“Bounce back” culture in matrescenceThe binary trap: “boss babe” vs. “barefoot and pregnant”The zero-sum game: if I win, you loseThis one’s tender, fiery, and full of nuance.Tune in with curiosity.

After experiencing a second-trimester loss, navigating IVF, planning a home birth that turned into a C-section, and getting slammed with postpartum anxiety, nothing about early motherhood came easy for her. It wasn’t until her neurodivergent diagnosis that the puzzle pieces finally clicked into place.Now, she’s on a mission to help other moms avoid the spiral of postpartum anxiety—not with platitudes or Pinterest-perfect schedules, but with real-deal tools: placenta encapsulation, strategic postpartum planning, and consistent, judgment-free support throughout the fourth trimester. Tiff believes postpartum anxiety is not just a mental health issue—it’s a social construct rooted in capitalism, patriarchy, and colonialism. And she’s here to help moms build a life they can manage - and enjoy.Connect with Tiff on IG @theplacentagirl or https://www.tiffdee.com/ Connect with Nicole on IG (@nicolepasveer)All current offerings can be found here including UNRULY:
