EP 17: ADHD-friendly approach to eating (with Erin from Balance and Bite)
Trigger Warning: disordered eating content.
I love this episode, I hope you will too. This episode we I chat with Erin Murnane, an Accredited Practising Dietitian and body image coach with over 12 years' experience in Australia and the UK. As an ADHDer herself, she's on a mission to help women stop binge eating, ditch food guilt, and finally feel calm and in control around food.
After years watching smart, driven people waste energy battling diets, Erin created a more compassionate, ADHD-friendly approach to eating — one that focuses on intuitive eating, body acceptance, and small, realistic changes (not perfection).
When she's not supporting clients, you'll find her cooking up something new, travelling, or saying yes to anything that involves good food and a little adventure.
This chat with Erin is fun, honest, informative and I hope you'll all have a little Erin on your shoulder by the end of this episode.

EP16: From Thrill Seeking to Self-Discovery (Tobias's ADHD Story)
In this episode of Awaken ADHD, Tobias honestly shares his journey living with undiagnosed ADHD and the impact it has had on his relationships, work, and understanding of self. We explore the challenges of hyperfocus, emotional masking, and the pressure many men feel to hide their feelings.
From skydiving to freediving, Tobias has spent his life chasing calm through chaos. What started as thrill-seeking evolved into an exploration of his ADHD traits, emotional regulation and self awareness. In this raw and insightful conversation, Tobias reflects on growing up hyper-focused on sports and high-risk activities, and suffering many injuries in the process.
We talk about how neurodivergence can hide beneath productivity, risk-taking, and people-pleasing, and what it looks like to find peace without losing drive. Tobias opens up about breaking down stigma and finding strength in connection and self-awareness."It's such a tradie or male thing to mask how you're feeling, but all it does is push back your healing." (Tobias)
We chat about the importance of recognising different ways of resting and healing that fit neurodivergent minds."Rest doesn't have to look like stillness. For ADHD minds, rest can be movement, curiosity, or simple creativity." (Jade)
"I want people to see that reaching out for help can be as simple as just going for two sessions, you can always leave if it's not for you." (Tobias)
If you want to understand ADHD beyond stereotypes and hear a real story of growth and acceptance, this episode is for you.
