Today we're joined by clinical psychologist Stephanie Georgiou who specialises in ADHD assessments, which leads Skye to getting very raw about her own diagnosis.

She unpacks the immense help her mum gave her when she was growing up and how she fears she can't give her own boys that same support.

Plus we chat about what ADHD actually is, how it can be diagnosed, how it impacts diet and what the heck masking is.

Perfectionism is a trait that our society often praises, but when it comes to your relationship with food, it might be the very thing keeping you stuck. In this episode, we dive into the research connecting clinical perfectionism with binge eating and purging behaviors.

We discuss how all-or-nothing thinking and rigid food rules create an illusion of control that inevitably leads to distress. More importantly, we explore how perfectionism actively blocks recovery by turning healing into just another strict diet you can "fail" at. Learn how embracing imperfection is the key to progress, along with three actionable tips to challenge the "perfect" standard.

@01:59.17 The research linking perfectionistic concerns to disordered eating

@05:50.24 Common signs of perfectionism in your daily eating habits (like all-or-nothing thinking)

@07:50.44 Why treating recovery like a diet prevents true healing

@12:09.13 3 tips to overcome perfectionism and build a flexible relationship with food
