Episode 144 with Tara Breuso.“ADHDers have such intense empathy. When I was 10, if I saw another child upset at a party, I would zero in on them and want to make them feel better.”Tara is a registered dietitian and certified intuitive eating counselor based in Australia. She runs an online private practice working with ADHD clients, helping them to gain clarity around eating and to stop dieting and binge eating for good. As an ADHDer herself, she understands that food, eating, and weight can be a turbulent experience for people living with ADHD. Her passion is helping people with ADHD find food freedom using a scientifically proven approach.We talk about the principles of intuitive eating and food freedom and how these concepts can often be misunderstood or rejected by people with ADHD. We also talk about common difficulties we have with feeding ourselves, including sensory issues around food, executive dysfunction around meal prep, and decision fatigue.And we talk all about snack hacking and Tara’s beautiful printable food lists — one of them is a visual aid for combining ordinary items in our pantry, and she also has a visual shopping list and simple recipes — it’s fantastic so make sure to check them out! Instagram: @The_ADHD_DietitianTikTok: @The_ADHD_DietitianLinks:Tara’s Snack Hacker: https://www.etsy.com/shop/TheADHDDietitianResources mentioned:Embrace documentary by Tara Brumfitt- - - - -Episode Sponsors:Green Chef, the #1 Meal Kit for Eating Well.

Episode 143 with Caryn Gill.“Other people say, ‘Oh, that's on my 5-year plan.’ And I think, I don't have a 5-year plan. It's now or never.”Caryn is a Licensed Professional Counselor who specializes in OCD and anxiety disorders, and now ADHD thanks to her own diagnosis late last year. She currently works in private practice but has worn many hats in the past: as a clinical trainer and educator and as a music therapist working in hospitals and various clinics. She lives and works in Pennsylvania and is also licensed in CT, CA, and MO.Caryn talks about how her diagnosis has changed her work with clients, and her choice to be open about her own diagnosis when some therapists with ADHD tend to "hide in the shadows" about their condition.We also talk about neurodivergent anxiety and burnout and some of the root causes, and the need to develop boundaries and give ourselves space to be under-stimulated and underwhelmed in order to self-regulate and move beyond overwhelm.Website: https://caryngilltherapy.comInstagram: @therapist.carynLinks:Sign up for Caryn’s free crash course on building your counterstrategy to attack OCD and anxiety: https://caryngilltherapy.com- - - - -Episode Sponsors:Green Chef, the #1 Meal Kit for Eating Well.

Episode 141 with Taylor Elyse Morrison.“My ADHD is more internal, so I would often worry I was looking for excuses or tricking myself into thinking I had ADHD.”Taylor is a founder, facilitator, coach, and serial entrepreneur making well-being and personal development more accessible. Through her company Inner Workout and her book of the same name, Taylor supports people’s journey to know, care for, and become their full selves. Recently named one of Fortune’s 10 Innovators Shaping the Future of Health, Taylor is tired of aspirational 'wellness as usual.' Instead, she builds businesses, content, and experiences that make well-being and personal development more accessible. Taylor and I talk about why exactly neurodivergent brains struggle with self-care and so often end up in burnout mode. We talk about how self-concept and self-talk lead to emotional dysregulation, how to listen to our bodies and what they’re actually telling us, and the importance of community and support when it comes to self-care (and what that looks like when you have ADHD).Website: innerworkout.coInstagram: @taylorelysemorrison ; @innerworkoutLinks: Taylor’s book, Inner WorkoutTaylor’s FREE Take Care assessmentTaylor's Begin Within group coaching application- - - - -Episode Sponsor:This episode is brought to you by Llama Life, the beautifully-designed, simple, and flexible app that uses time-boxing to help keep you focused as you work through your To Do list.

Episode 140 with Jennifer Salzman.“The alcohol was dulling the anxiety and the stress, but it was also dulling the joy and the happiness.”When Jennifer was diagnosed with adult ADHD in her 40s she realized that she had spent more than 20 years self-medicating her symptoms with alcohol. Drinking was the easiest and fastest way to shut off the constant chatter in her brain. She also discovered that alcohol abuse among people with ADHD is much more common than it is in people without the condition. Jennifer now coaches others to help them find freedom from alcohol, gain a new outlook on life, and improve their relationship with themselves and their neurodivergent brains. We talk about our own experiences with alcohol abuse, the link between ADHD and substance abuse, the dangers of mixing alcohol with stimulant medications, why AA isn’t always neurodivergent-friendly, and some of the ways we can develop healthier coping mechanisms for managing ADHD.  Website: amightyrebel.comInstagram: @rebelwithoutadrinkLinks: The Rebel Reboot: rebelwithoutadrink.com- - - - -Episode Sponsor:This episode is brought to you by Llama Life, the beautifully-designed, simple, and flexible app that uses time-boxing to help keep you focused as you work through your To Do list.

There was all this footage that I was scrolling through and analyzing with a new lens.”Georgia is an inclusive sustainable mobility expert and advocate based in London. Having worked with hundreds of cities across the globe on achieving their sustainable transport aims, she now advises the public, private, and third sector on achieving inclusive sustainable mobility, through her business, Loud Mobility.Following the sudden loss of a loved one, Georgia went on a journey of self-discovery that led to her ADHD diagnosis.
