  • Real Zeal Season 2 Podcast Ep10: Friendships, ADHD & Finding the Middle Ground
    Feb 5 2026

    In this final episode of Season 2, Trish and Burkie get real about ADHD and friendships — from "out of sight, out of mind" struggles, to love-bombing new friends, to the grief of friendships that quietly fade.

    We talk intention, awareness, and what it actually looks like to keep good friendships without burning yourself out or losing yourself along the way.

    Because there is a middle ground — and it's worth finding.
    🎧 Season 2 finale. Real conversations, no shame.

  • Real Zeal Season 2 Podcast Ep9: It Wasn't Small to Me - Understanding RSD
    Jan 22 2026

    Ever spiralled after a neutral tone, a delayed reply, or a throwaway comment?
    That's not drama — it might be RSD. In this episode, we break down Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria in a way that finally makes sense. From the emotional "back end" ADHDers live with daily, to simple ways friends, partners, bosses and families can communicate with more care. This episode doesn't just explain RSD — it changes how you show up for each other. Yep, this rocks for everyone.
