Hi Adam! You talked on the Still Untitled podcast about saying, "I HAVE NO BUSINESS MAKING THINGS!!!" to yourself. Are there any specific methods you want to share about boosting your self-esteem or confidence, both short- and long-term?

Answered in depth on Tested.com! Good stuff http://www.tested.com/art/makers/454389-still-untitled-supplemental-adams-inexpensive-beginners-toolkit/

My wife is a social worker in crisis having a crisis. She was a vet tech (where she adopted our beloved massive floofy cat) when she decided to follow in her late mother's footsteps and peruse her other great passion of helping people. She got her LMSW at UT Austin and is now having a very hard time finding work that offers supervision toward an LCSW, or really any work that she isn't either over or under qualified for. Currently she works for a crisis hotline. The job is rewarding but incredibly stressful and she feels stuck there. Any tips for her to keep moving forward or get out of a slump?

Thanks! I keep a list of ongoing projects which definitely helps. It was really heartening to watch someone with your level of expertise no only going through the same rollercoaster of frustration and excitement in the making process that the rest of us do, but to handle lows with grace and proceed "gingerly" (haha). I appreciate the feedback and I hope the rest of the suit build goes smoother :)

How important is it to find providers with lived experience? My wife was misdiagnosed with bipolar early on, then (probably accurate concurrent diagnosis) adhd. Since grad school she has realized she is autistic and is now an msrp practicing therapy specializing in neurodivergent issues among other things. She's a firm believer that the dsm and most healthcare and mental health providers are biased in ways that would benefit drastically from more representation or input from patients and professionals who are themselves neurodivergent.
