March 06 130 // Letting Go of the ADHD Shame When We Fail
Sometimes we fail. We show up late. We don’t show up at all. We say things we regret. We don’t say something we should have.
We mess up. We are human. But then what?
Option 1, you can beat yourself up and tell yourself what an awful person you are, hoping it will somehow inspire change.
Option 2 (my vote!), you can give yourself grace and compassion and learn how to better support your ADHD-brain next time.
Join me in today's episode to learn when you've been shaming yourself and what you can do instead.

Have you ever asked yourself the question, "am I enough?" Or maybe, "am I doing enough?"
These questions can touch every part of our lives.
We can be left asking:
Am I a good enough parent?

Am I a good enough friend, daughter, sister?
Asking these questions about our worth and identity as women with ADHD can breed so much discontentment and cause us to distrust ourselves.

February 17125 // Set Healthy Boundaries to Protect Your Journey to Confidence
Host Kelsey Spronk, an ADHD mom and entrepreneur, explains why healthy boundaries are essential to self-advocacy and living into God’s calling.
The episode breaks boundary-setting into five practical areas:
your thoughts
your words
your actions (what you say yes and no to)
who you listen to, and
who you spend time with.
Kelsey walks listeners through awareness exercises for difficult thought patterns (like comparison and catastrophizing), guidelines for who to be vulnerable with, and rules to protect your schedule and attention (sleep on yes, set timers, limit phone/social media use). She also encourages testing outside opinions against your values and faith, and protecting quality time with the people who matter.
Overall, the episode offers simple, actionable steps to help you become the person God is calling you to be—by protecting your time, your heart, and your focus so you can grow in confidence and success with ADHD.
