Only Boring People Get Bored: A Beautiful Mindset with Meg Jager
Comedian Meg Jager joins me for one of the funniest and most insightful episodes yet. We dive into autism, anxiety, anger, identity, dating, chaotic life choices, unhinged DMs and why only boring people get bored.
Meg opens up about discovering she’s autistic in adulthood, how that reframed her entire life (including realising she was bullied without knowing), and why her autism actually protected her. We also explore OCD, everyday rage, Melbourne tram etiquette, mental health as physical health, antidepressants, grief, burnout and the strangely calming world of pimple-popping videos.
And of course… we expose some of Meg’s wildest DMs — from unsolicited “confessions of love” to sour reactions when she doesn’t reply. The parasocial relationships are real.
