In this episode, titled The Power of Priorities: Choosing What Matters Most, we dive into the everyday overwhelm that comes with juggling multiple roles and responsibilities—especially when living with ADHD. I often as an ADHD coach get so focused on skills and technique that I forget to talk just how helpful exercising faith and trust is to me in this process. From managing a budding tween and leading school programs to running a business and fostering relationships, life can feel like a constant balancing act. How do we decide what truly matters when everything feels important?
Drawing from the story of Mary and Martha, we explore the tension between being productive and being present, between life’s value and life’s purpose. We’ll talk about the power of decision-making, the struggle with indecision, and how to let go of the guilt when “something’s got to give.” Plus, we’ll bring in insights from the scriptures to guide us in making purposeful, faith-based choices.
If you’ve ever felt stuck between doing it all and wanting to slow down, this episode will give you practical steps to help you prioritize, find clarity, and trust that focusing on what truly matters will lead you to peace.

In this episode, we dive into the fascinating contradictions of ADHD, exploring how living with a "busy brain" means constantly balancing focus and frenzy. We'll unpack common dualities like hyperfocus vs. distraction, impulsivity vs. thoughtfulness, and spontaneity vs. structure. More than just exploring these traits, we'll discuss how embracing this duality can deepen our understanding of life and faith. As saints, we often seek to understand God's will, and by learning to trust that both sides of the coin—the calm and the chaos—are essential, we can gain clarity in our spiritual journeys. Tune in as we explore how ADHD can teach us profound truths about embracing the full spectrum of our experience and finding peace in the paradox.

In this episode of The Busy Brained Saint, we dive into the concept of "Intentional Procrastination" and how it applies to those of us navigating life with ADHD and faith. Procrastination often gets a bad reputation, but what if we reframed it as something purposeful? We explore why procrastination is so common in ADHD brains, the difference between avoidant and intentional procrastination, and how to approach delays with a faith-based perspective. Drawing on LDS teachings, we'll look at how divine timing and patience can play a role in when we choose to act or wait, and how spiritual guidance can help us distinguish between procrastination that serves us versus what holds us back.

In this episode of The Busy Brained Saint Podcast, we dive deep into the concept of the "neurocrash," a term that perfectly captures the sudden mental and emotional drop many of us with ADHD experience after periods of intense focus, vulnerability, or high-stimulation activities.
I’ll share personal stories and real-life examples of how neurocrash impacts daily life, relationships, and overall well-being. We'll explore the biological reasons behind this phenomenon, from dopamine dips to executive function fatigue, and discuss how our brains react to overstimulation and the subsequent drop-off.
But it’s not all science—we'll also get practical. I'll offer strategies to manage and recover from a neurocrash, from self-care tips to medication management, and emphasize the importance of recognizing and preparing for these moments.
Whether you’re familiar with the concept or just discovering it, this episode will give you valuable insights into navigating life with ADHD. Tune in to learn more about why neurocrash happens and how to cope when it does.

In this episode, we explore the powerful concept of "becoming," emphasizing that our journey of growth is ongoing and divinely guided. We'll integrate Bible and Book of Mormon teachings with ADHD principles to show how living in the moment allows us to embrace who we are becoming, rather than just focusing on who we've been. Join us as we discuss practical strategies for reframing our self-talk, trusting in God's plan, and celebrating personal growth in a faith-affirming, ADHD-friendly way.

In this episode, we’re diving into the oddly specific yet incredibly important topic of navigating Disneyland with ADHD. As a parent, especially one raising kids with ADHD and other forms of neurodivergence, planning a family trip like this takes more than just mapping out the rides. I spent a lot of time preparing for our three-day adventure to Disneyland, not only focusing on the fun but also making it as ADHD-friendly as possible. I’m here to share all the strategies I used, from the snacks that kept us going to the accommodations Disney offers, how to plan your day effectively, and even how to set your family’s intention for the trip. Whether you’re headed to the Magic Kingdom or just want some travel tips for neurodiverse families, this episode is for you!

I explain why there is a growing focus on preparing missionaries not only spiritually and physically but also mentally. With societal changes and increased awareness of mental health needs, our approach to missionary service must adapt. I share insights on how members of the church can support prospective missionaries better, drawing from my experience as an ADHD coach and my own mission. This episode highlights the broader implications for future missionaries and the critical role mental health plays in their preparation and success.
Join me as I discuss the intersection of faith, service, and mental well-being, offering strategies to support missionaries on their journey.
