In this episode of The Ridiculously You Podcast, our host Julie May sits down with Jo, aka MyFavouriteJo, for a wildly fun and brutally honest conversation that flips the script on what "normal" even means. Jo makes videos mixing laughs with lightbulb moments, challenging the notion that neurodivergent people are broken, busted, or wrong. Her community, MyFavouriteCult, is all about real support, dopamine hits, and actual useful hacks, not just the garbage-sauce advice like "have you tried journaling".

Jo shares the deeply relatable awkward detour that led to her identity reclamation: the moment she realized she was "killing herself to be accepted" by people she didn't even like. This episode is a fierce rebellion against shrinking, exposing how neurotypical everything has been normalized while we have been demonized. We discuss the definite strengths of being neurodivergent, and why the demands of our society are "f**ked," which even neurotypicals are starting to see.

This conversation is your permission slip to stop performing and embrace your true, ridiculous self. Julie May and MyFavouriteJo prove that the problem isn't you, it's late-stage Crapitalism, and that loving the ridiculous parts of yourself is how you get your power back. You'll walk away with the courage to claim your strengths and let your healing get loud.

In this episode of The Ridiculously You Podcast, our host Julie May sits down with Jonathan McLean, founder of Osprey Guide, for a grounded conversation about how a near-death experience can be the ultimate catalyst for transformation. Jonathan spent 17 years building a disciplined career in the automotive industry before a life-changing incident in the Himalayas shattered his old outlook and deepened his spiritual connection. This is where practicality meets profound insight.

We’re diving into the messy parts of navigating radical change: leaving a familiar career, moving continents, and embracing a totally new path. Jonathan McLean now blends that grounded practicality with deep spiritual insight to help clients overcome limitations. We talk about why the disciplined mindset that built success can also become a trauma pattern, not a failure, if it doesn't leave room for the soul.

This episode is your permission slip to stop asking "Brenda," your inner critic, if it's too late to completely reinvent yourself. Julie May and Jonathan McLean discuss how to set boundaries that stick, how to move past the garbage-sauce of self-imposed limitations, and why aligning your life with your true nature is the ultimate radical self-love. You'll walk away with the courage to embrace your own awkward detours and live ridiculously real.
