In this episode of Love Conquers, we dive deep into the wonderfully weird world of hyperfocus and special interests—those intense passions that can either bond couples like superglue or drive them quietly insane. Joining us is Nicole Ennis-Oakes, neurodiversity whisperer and principal psychologist at the Centre for Neurodiversity, who helps us unravel why your partner’s obsession with vintage trains or obscure anime might be more than just a quirk.

We’ll explore how these deep interests function for neurodivergent individuals, the challenges and joys they bring into relationships, and how to navigate those “I love you but if you mention that one topic again I swear…” moments. Whether you're the hyperfixator or the bemused partner, this episode offers real strategies, heartfelt stories, and the occasional laugh to help couples build connection through curiosity—not just compatibility.
