#67 ADHD & Addiction
Navigating Adult ADHD
06/24/24 • 25 min
I just thought I had an addictive personality. Turns out that I had undiagnosed ADHD.
For me it was food (sugar), alcohol & shopping. I used them as a way to both escape the painful parts of my life & to feel good.
All addictions have one thing in common: DOPAMINE.
And while many articles will tell you we become addicted because we are "dopamine seeking"... I don't fully agree.
In this episode we explore:
- What addiction looks like & how it develops in people with ADHD
- The 2 things that I believe lead us towards addiction
- The work of Anna Lembke & the role of dopamine
In this episode I recommend & refer to Anna Lembke's book: Dopamine Nation

#65 ADHD & The Dopamine Hangover
Navigating Adult ADHD
06/10/24 • 19 min
You know that low feeling you get after you return from a holiday?
That reason why you book the next trip to look forward to asap?
THIS is a dopamine hangover.
Anytime we spike our dopamine levels, for example jumping out of a plane & then feeling on top of the world.
Later results in a significant drop in dopamine (what goes up must come down, literally!) & it doesn't feel so good.
This results in us feeling lower in mood, having less motivation & drive to do things & having less interest in things we would usually enjoy.
Listen in to learn more about how to manage your dopamine levels so you can thrive with ADHD!

Navigating Adult ADHD
09/04/23 • 39 min
Self-acceptance is the key to feeling better & creating positive change in your life.
And for us ADHDers this can be a hard one.
But, you can not hate your way to happiness.
Beating yourself up creates inconsistency & going back to old habits.
This work right here, in this episode, was life changing for me & for hundreds of the women I've coached.
