It's beginning to look a lot like… sensory overload. Don't stress, Trish and Burke are here to make your festive season way more functional and way less cray cray. In this episode, we're unloading all the neuroaffirming tricks to help you survive the holidays without emotionally face-planting into the trifle.

We're talking:


✨ Prep-loading on safe foods before gatherings

✨ Creating a silent "get me outta here" tap-out signal

✨ Lo-fi decompression tunes between events

✨ Family-friendly boundaries that actually work

✨ And how to honour your nervous system while everyone else is honouring the ham

Whether you're the one struggling, the one supporting, or the one just trying not to lose your shi—sparkle 🤭 this episode will help you craft a festive season that feels good, gentle, and totally you.

Your body's talking… are you listening? This week, we're talking body cues, burnout, and why "consistency" isn't being a robot. From silence pods to colour-coded "leave me alone" signals, we dive into creating environments where every brain can thrive.

Oh, and balancing burnout with a passion project? Mandatory. Tracking progress? Optional. Buying all the gear? 100% required.

Let's be real — for ADHD brains, habits are like houseplants: full of good intentions, but one shift in sunlight and they're gone. This week, Trish and Burkie dive into why sticking to routines feels like a full-time dopamine management job. From the thrill of starting something new to the inevitable "meh" phase when the sparkle wears off, they unpack why our grooves are less about structure and more about seasons. If you've ever wondered why your "new habit" lasted exactly three and a half weeks, this one's for you. Spoiler: it's not laziness — it's the ADHD way.

Guest host Arijana Hostnjak is back on the couch with Trish and Burkie to dig into the dark side of being "high-functioning." Sure, you might look like you've got it all together at work — but that constant masking? It comes at a cost. We're talking burnout, emotional hangovers, and the way keeping it together from 9 to 5 can leave nothing left in the tank for your home life, friendships, or relationships. If you've ever crashed on the couch after "holding it together" all day, this one's for you.

The delicate dance of being real without freaking people out.

Arijana from The Soulutions Centre Psychology joins Trish and James on the couch to tackle the late-diagnosis tightrope — being your true ADHD self without making everyone else short-circuit. We're talking work life, masking, trackies vs. corporate dress codes, and how to keep it real in the workplace without getting weird.

Trish & Burkie aren't here to whisper about meds — they're talking straight up about ADHD medication. What life looked like before, what shifted after, and why the choice isn't as simple as "yay or nay." Expect honesty, side-eye at the stereotypes, and plenty of laughs in between.

In this ep, Trish and Burkie get real about therapy — why everyone deserves a psychologist in their corner. From unpacking old hurts to reframing the stories we tell ourselves, having a professional voice (that isn't just your partner or your bestie) can change everything. Think less sugar-coating, more growth.

Real Zeal is back — and this season, Trish isn't flying solo. James "Burkie" Burke has jumped on board as co-host, bringing the male ADHDer perspective (and a whole lot of banter).

In this ep, we put each other in the hot seat with 3 juicy questions each. Think favourite food and drink, comfort clothes, soulmates, and whether ADHDers are actually the next stage of human evolution.

Plus, Trish gets grilled on balancing her unhinged, unfiltered self with being a health practice owner — and whether she'll still be this loud at 80. Spoiler: probably yes. It's the perfect start to Season 2.
