Divergently Married
Pregnancy, mental health and looking forward

Sorry again for the intermittent nature of this podcast, but with the year we've had, can you blame us? Redundancy, pregnancy... yeah, it's a lot. Either way, we're getting off to a new start now, into Season 3!


Sonay talks more about her pregnancy, mental health challenges, RSD, boundary setting, what we've been watching, and our news segments.

Baby Stuff, more Baby Stuff, and our Regular Features

Sorry, we know, it's been a hot minute or two, but life is life and we do these as best we can.


In our latest episode, we're talking scans, more news, self-advocacy, and what we've been watching on TV. James also manages to shoehorn in some references that others might not get. It's been a long road... so to speak.

Will We Ever Stop Talking About RSD?

In this eighth episode of season 2, we dive into the latest (depressing) ADHD life expectancy research, question whether RSD is actually CPTSD, and uncover the shocking truth that the Autism Act exists. We also analyse whether The Big Bang Theory accidentally nailed meltdowns and, as always, go off on a well-earned government rant.


Because if the system won’t advocate for us, you know we will.

Beeping means I’m happy, and I'll have the same table, thanks
In this seventh episode of season 2, we tackle the joy of echolalia, the misery of RSD, and the absurdity of object permanence (yes, it’s real). We also unmask a little, rant about TV stereotypes, and review Patience – because we’re nothing if not thorough.

It’s Not Me, It’s Definitely You: RSD Strikes Again

In the fourth episode of the second season, we take another look at RSD. James wanted to call it RSD 2, Electric Boogaloo, but this was outvoted by Sonay and Sylvie. James suspects electoral fraud.


In this episode both James and Sonay talk about RSD, when travel goes right for a change, minimal mentions of politics, why we need International Men's Day, and much, much more.
