61. Binge Eating & ADHD

Did you know there is a very strong link between ADHD and Binge Eating Disorder.
As an ADHDer myself, this is an episode I am so passionate about, and something I have wanted to record for a long time!
I’ll be talking about why these two often go hand-in-hand, exploring how the brain’s reward system, impulsivity, and emotional regulation come into play.
I chat about how the brain’s wiring makes it easy to slip into binge eating patterns and why restrictive diets, unusual schedules, and difficulty with hunger and fullness cues can make it even harder.
If you feel that your ADHD might be affecting your eating habits, this episode is filled with practical tips and tricks to take action straight away.

63. Getting Outside Of Your Comfort Zone - With Roxanne Cambridge

In this episode, I sit down with content creator, model, and mum of four—Roxanne Cambridge—for a heartfelt chat about all things body image, identity, and building community as a creator and mother.

We dive into Roxanne’s journey from disordered eating in her teens to embracing her body post-pregnancy. She shares how motherhood and modeling have shaped her body image, how representation (or lack of it) impacted her growing up, and why she’s passionate about creating spaces where women can feel seen, supported, and celebrated.

We also talk about what it’s really like behind the scenes of content creation, the challenges of building community in the digital age and the importance of always pushing yourself outside your comfort zone.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re too much, not enough, or just totally lost in your body (and life)—this episode is your permission slip to take up space. Roxanne’s story will leave you feeling seen, inspired, and ready to embrace the person you authentically are.
