Episode 301: Anxiety vs ADHD, Overeating & Losing Yourself
Tue Feb 03 2026
In this episode, Trisha and I answer three listener questions.
We talk about the overlap between anxiety, ADHD traits, trauma, hormones, parenting, and overwhelm — and how to know when something is manageable and when it’s time to seek further support.
We also answer a question on nutrition and endurance training, and why nutrition can unravel when training volume increases.
Finally, we talk about confidence and identity, and how working from home can slowly change how you feel about yourself and your social confidence.
This episode is a practical, honest conversation around issues many people are dealing with but rarely talk about.
If you’ve ever felt stuck in patterns that feel exhausting, confusing, or out of your control, click play and let’s dive in.
