  • Usually love the show..

    Amy chan sounds pretentious and it doesn’t sound helpful. Been listening for years but this last episode made me turn it off before it ended. Of course just my opinion.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Fluently Fixed - ADHD Hacks, People Pleasers & Getting Promoted
Q: What's the best approach to finally getting a promotion in a corporate setting?
Switch from passive hard work to active promotion-building by documenting impact, creating a compelling package of work, scheduling a meeting with the manager, and asking for guidance on promotion steps, while leveraging trusted friends/family to craft the narrative.
Fluently Fixed - ADHD Hacks, People Pleasers & Getting Promoted
Q: How can someone handle being surrounded by people-pleasers in a group when decisions get stalled?
Use a Seinfeld-inspired framework to name and reframe behaviors, propose concrete prompts or polls in group chats, and gradually delegate planning to others while maintaining a light, humorous framing to keep dynamics healthy.
Fluently Fixed - ADHD Hacks, People Pleasers & Getting Promoted
Q: What morning routine tips work for ADHD, especially when you're off medications or have unstructured hours?
The host emphasizes reducing friction by pre-planning the day the night before, habit stacking multiple tasks, and pairing actions (like brushing teeth with coffee prep or wearing an outfit laid out the night before) to create a quick, high-yield routine that still feels dynamic.
Deconstructing the Kardashians with MJ Corey
Q: Why do you think people struggle to take the Kardashians seriously as subjects of academic or intellectual study?
Corey suggests that the archetypal nature of the family, combined with a long history of high visibility, makes them a useful test case for theories of media, not simply objects of gossip, and that studying them reveals how culture consumes and propagates celebrity.
Fluently Fixed - Being Defensive, Ending a Meh Relationship, Friends Micro Influencing and more
Q: How do we get over the growing pains of moving in and getting on each other's nerves without harboring any resentment?
It's normal for couples to experience challenges when moving in together, especially during the first year. Communication and patience are key.
