Emily Katy joins me to talk about her book, Girl Unmasked, a memoir that weaves together her personal journey with OCD, ADHD, and Autism and the insights she’s gained along the way. She shares not only her own experiences but also guidance for others navigating similar struggles—and for the friends and family who want to offer meaningful support.
We dive into what it’s really like living with OCD, beyond the stereotypes and misconceptions. Emily speaks to the intense need for control that can come with it, the intrusive thoughts, and the ways it can shape everyday life in ways people don’t always see. She also reflects on what has helped her most, what she wishes more people understood, and how loved ones can show up in ways that are truly supportive.
This conversation is both deeply personal and incredibly insightful. Whether you have OCD yourself, love someone who does, or just want to better understand the complexities of mental health, Emily’s perspective offers so much clarity and encouragement.
