Stigmas and Open Wounds: the life and times of a neurodivergent
Traci Wulterkens
Show overview
Stigmas and Open Wounds: the life and times of a neurodivergent has been publishing since 2021, and across the 4 years since has built a catalogue of 235 episodes, alongside 11 trailers or bonus episodes. That works out to roughly 130 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a weekly cadence, with the show now in its 4th season.
Episodes typically run twenty to thirty-five minutes — most land between 16 min and 46 min — with run-times ranging widely across the catalogue. The publisher flags most episodes as explicit, so expect adult themes or strong language throughout. It is catalogued as a EN-language Health & Fitness show.
There hasn’t been a new episode in the last ninety days; the most recent episode landed 6 months ago. The busiest year was 2024, with 91 episodes published. Published by Traci Wulterkens.
