Summary:
In this episode, comedian, author, and podcast host Kym Kral joins Sam Marion for a vulnerable and hilarious conversation about neurodivergence, creativity, and self-worth. Kym shares how she discovered her ADHD diagnosis later in life, what stand-up comedy taught her about humanity, and the strategies she uses to quiet self-doubt and nurture joy. From journaling to her “happy list,” Kym offers practical tools for surviving (and thriving) in a world that wasn’t built for neurodivergent minds. The episode also delves into the emotional challenges of success, navigating toxic relationships, and why rest shouldn’t be a guilt trip.

Quotes:
“I don’t need anyone in my corner echoing the voice that already tells me I’m not enough.”
“It’s not linear. And there’s never going to be a moment where you feel like ‘I made it.’”
“Sometimes you do just need to lay down, watch a dumb TV show, and disassociate—with no shame.”
