Ferrari Engine, Bicycle Brakes: Navigating Adult ADHD Diagnosis with Katy Weber

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2536756/fan_mail/new] Have you felt like everyone else received a manual to life that you somehow missed? In today's episode, we sit down with Katy Weber who is an ADHD advocate and coach, and host of the Women & ADHD podcast. Katy shares her personal story of being diagnosed during the pandemic at age of 45. Despite appearing as high-achieving, she was white-knuckling her way through daily life, battling internal hyperactivity, and mistaking her struggles for personal failure.   We dive deep into why so many women are overlooked by standard diagnostic tools, which were originally built around the behavior of young boys. Katy opens up about the eye-opening moments that changed everything—including how overcompensating to hide executive dysfunction leaves women completely exhausted.  Katy also shares why the real key to thriving with ADHD isn't a magical planner or app, but a radical shift in mindset toward self-acceptance, how she navigated her kids' ADHD diagnosis, the biggest misconceptions about adult ADHD, and what friends can do to better understand and support their friends with ADHD.

What’s Really Wrecking Your Digestion & Cycle: Gut Health with Dr. Ashley de Luna

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2536756/fan_mail/new] Have you tried elimination diets, cut out countless foods, and done random internet cleanses, only to find yourself still dealing with uncomfortable bloating, irregular periods and gut issues? In this episode, we sit down with licensed naturopathic doctor, yoga instructor, and women's health expert, Dr. Ashley de Luna. Dr. de Luna shares her personal journey navigating severe gut issues from her earlier days as a vegetarian to medical school, and reveals why the secret to her healing wasn't a restrictive vegan diet—it was regulating her nervous system.   We pull back the curtain on how the gut acts as our "second brain" and why true digestive wellness must start with a safe, grounded nervous system. Dr. de Luna breaks down the physiology of the vagus nerve and explains why eating while stressed prevents your body from properly releasing digestive enzymes. You will learn direct, actionable strategies to shift your body out of "fight or flight" and into a "rest and digest" state. We also touch on parasites, mold, leaky gut, and hormones, for a holistic conversation on gut health for women.

42 Days in the Arctic and the Power of Seeking Discomfort with Kelly Turner

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2536756/fan_mail/new] In this episode, we sit down with elite rock climber and founder of Athena Rock Climbing, Kelly Turner, who takes us through her grueling 42-day expedition in the Canadian Arctic, where she led an all-female team to establish one of the hardest climbing routes in the world. Beyond the physical summit, Kelly shares how the outdoors became a sanctuary for processing profound personal loss, including the death of her mother and her recent experience with two miscarriages.   Kelly dives deep into the mental strategies that allow her to thrive in high-stakes environments, explaining how rock climbing serves as a superpower for handling life's unknowns. We discuss the importance of sitting with fear rather than fleeing from it, navigating a male-dominated sport, the power of self-awareness, and recognizing your true worth.  Resources from this episode can be found at: https://www.fuelwitherin.com/podcast/v/episode-24-42-days-in-the-arctic-and-the-power-of-seeking-discomfort-with-kelly-turner [https://www.fuelwitherin.com/podcast/v/episode-24-42-days-in-the-arctic-and-the-power-of-seeking-discomfort-with-kelly-turner]  CONNECT WITH KELLY: Instagram | @athenarockclimbing [https://www.instagram.com/athenarockclimbing/] Website | Athena Rock Climbing [https://www.athenarockclimbing.com/about-us] FUEL YOUR PERFORMANCE Momentous is my go-to for high-quality, science-backed supplements → Offer: Use code FuelWithErin for 14% off one-time purchase and 35% off first-time subscriptions Shop here: https://crrnt.app/MOME/1KeXpK4v [https://crrnt.app/MOME/1KeXpK4v]  LETS CONNECT: Instagram | @fuel.with.erin [https://www.instagram.com/fuel.with.erin/] Youtube | @FindYourFuel [https://www.youtube.com/@FindYourFuel] Spotify | Apple Podcasts  [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/find-your-fuel/id1847183868] Submit a Story | https://fuelwitherin.com [https://fuelwitherin.com] ========== Disclaimer: The information provided in this podcast and its show notes is for informational and educational purposes only.

Tools for Mental Health, Anxiety and Grief with Dr. Tash

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2536756/fan_mail/new] What happens when a psychologist who specializes in helping families through with mental health suddenly finds herself on the other side of the table? In this episode, Dr. Natasha Poulopoulos (known as Dr. Tash) shares her deeply personal journey of losing her father to glioblastoma. We dive into the eerie quiet that follows a medical battle, anticipatory grief, and the science of the grieving brain.   We also tackle the vast world of mental health and regulation. Dr. Tash explains why thoughts aren’t facts and how we can use cognitive diffusion to separate our identity from our anxious feelings. We discuss the critical difference between having a hard moment and having a clinical disorder, highlighting the power of behavioral activation—like movement and greenery—to shift our physiology and help us move through emotions in as little as 90 seconds.
