Power Within with The Eastwoods
How ADHD Nearly Derailed Her Boxing Career with Pro Boxer, April Hunter | Ep 24
In this episode of Power Within, we sit down with pro boxer April Hunter to talk openly about her fresh ADHD diagnosis as an adult, the rollercoaster journey to getting it, and how it's shaped her mental health, relationships, and career inside and outside the ring.
April gets real about growing up with undiagnosed ADHD, the impulsive choices that landed her in prison, and how boxing became her life-saving outlet. We dive into the struggle to focus, the chaos of 30+ mental tabs open at once, and how the UK’s long ADHD waitlists are leaving so many in limbo.
She shares what it's really like to self-medicate just to slow her mind down, the pros and cons of finally going private for a diagnosis, and whether ADHD meds are next. Plus, we talk about the emotional highs, the hyperfocus, and why boxing isn’t just a sport for April... it’s therapy.
If you’ve ever wondered how ADHD really shows up day-to-day, how trauma and neurodiversity collide, or how to channel chaos into championship energy, join us for this episode.
