The Intersections of ADHD + Eating Disorders with Brianne Leeson

Whytli Rogers Episode 80

Brianne Leeson is an artist and small business owner from Dallas, Texas. She is also the creator of the scripted comedy/fiction podcast Today’s Lucky Winner. 

Brianne was diagnosed in her thirties with ADHD which led her to a whole new realm of self discovery and understanding. She began to realize how her ADHD brain had affected or amplified different things throughout growing up including her relationship with her body and an eating disorder. With the knowledge she has of herself now, she is able to adapt and cope with her differences and advocate for her specific needs.

We discuss the following:

  • Being diagnosed with ADHD in her thirties
  • Myths, stigmas, and misunderstandings around ADHD and eating disorders
  • Her relationship with food and her body growing up 
  • Her day to day experiences, thoughts, and situations that arise with ADHD
  • How ADHD and eating disorders can intersect and affect one another
  • What coping skills work for her
