  • You got those habits on SHEIN? Why ADHDers can fall prey to quick-fix diets

    Do you feel like every time you start over, you try harder but not better? Or maybe you stay on a cycle of switching from one quick fix to another, and you never actually see the results.

    It is natural to have shiny object syndrome in life, especially when someone else has perfectly scripted the results we are supposed to see after the quick fix plan. In this episode, we'll talk about how we expect habits to be created, implemented, and show results instantly and the two reasons why we tend to fall prey to the quick fixes we come across. If you are ready to create your template and start the One Small Step Method after this episode, I have more actionable and sustainable tips in my Wellness with ADHD Digital Course. Let's dive in!

            • How to Not Hate Your Wellness Habits

              Do you struggle with keeping up or maintaining the habits to accomplish a goal?

              We all have different reasons for wanting to improve our wellness. Maybe we're hoping to feel better, look better, or live longer. But for those of us with ADHD, the journey can sometimes feel overwhelming and frustrating. It's easy to hate it when we don't see results right away or when old habits die hard. But it's important to remember why we started this journey in the first place and to find a way that's easier for us to keep pushing forward.

              "If the way that things are happening right now aren't working for you, that doesn't mean this is simply how the world works. Just because this is the way things have been, that doesn't mean this is the way things have to stay, and we can find or create another way." - Chelsea Uithoven.

              In today's episode, we discuss three ways you can stop hating your wellness journey, and I'll be giving you a sneak peek of the newest way you can work with me.

              • An unproductive way of thinking about habits (6:15)

              • Motivations, jumpstarts, and 75 Hard (13:44)

                Joy Ridenour is a wife, mom of four, and an unorganized professional organizer! - Yes, you read that right! She talks about this during our discussion. Her struggles, coupled with frustration over the organizing industry's need to make moms with ADHD feel inadequate about the difficulties in their homes, led her to share personal stories and ADHD-focused tips.

As ADHDers, we can often feel a lot of shame around our environments, and one of the things I love about Joy's approach is that she focuses on the mindset of organizing with a heart to find a real, sustainable solution for you.

                • Intuitive Eating + ADHD with RDN Nicole Demasi Malcher

                  Have you ever considered there is a connection between ADHD and disordered eating? As someone with ADHD, do you want to have a better relationship with food to stop dieting, stop binging, and be happier and less stressed about food and body image? If your answer is yes to any or all of the above, this insightful episode is for you.

                  I'm so excited for you to hear this interview with Nicole Demasi Malcher. After receiving a late ADHD diagnosis at the age of 33 and struggling with food issues for most of her life, her ten years of experience as a dietitian and certified diabetes educator helped her uncover the deep connection between ADHD and disordered eating. She has since dedicated her career to assisting ADHDers in healing their relationship with food and their bodies.

                  "… there are so many reasons we struggle with eating with ADHD. I mean, we have issues with impulsivity, low dopamine. We have poor time management, time blindness, and interoceptive awareness, we get overwhelmed and have emotional dysregulation and sensory issues, all of which affect our eating." - Nicole Demsai Malcher

                  Highlights from today's discussion:

                  • What are intuitive eating and its advantages for someone with ADHD (5:20)
                  • Nicole shares her struggles with food and body image (8:18)
                  • Having ADHD and why it's common to struggle with eating (13:57)
                  • The need for self-care (17:23)
                  • Restrictive eating and using food to cope (19:31)
                  • Dieting is the most significant predictor of weight gain, and BMI is a lie (24:19)
                  • Intuitive eating and the fear of relinquishing control (30:06)
                  • How to ease into intuitive eating (35:45)
                  • Nicole's pregnancy and her relationship with food (39:53)
                  • The misconceptions of what intuitive eating is (46:48)
                  • Did you find this episode insightful? Did you have any ah-ha moments? I'd love for you to share them with me on social! Also, Nicole coaches clients 1:1 and has a 10-week Eating with ADHD online course, which provides all the knowledge, tools, and step-by-step processes needed to eat consistently, helping you break free of the binge-restrict cycle and be in control around food.

                  • Entrepreneurship, Wellness + ADHD with AnnMarie Espina

                    As someone with ADHD, do you ever have a fear of failure? Have you ever considered ADHD an advantage or that your strengths should be the focus rather than your weaknesses?

                    I'm so excited for you to hear this interview as we interweave the two topics of entrepreneurship and wellness. We welcome AnnMarie Espina, an ADHD transformational coach for entrepreneurs, and we chat about entrepreneurship, wellness, and ADHD.

                    "And the reason that people with ADHD are so successful as entrepreneurs are because we're the creatives, the innovators, the people who don't want to go in someone else's box. And we're like, no, your way sucks. This is how we're doing it. And so literally, we change economies and things at a global scale." - AnnMarie Espina
