22 // Success With ADHD Starts Here | Why God-Centered Confidence Matters

Are you tired of the emotional rollercoaster that comes with ADHD? Going from "on top of the world" to "I'll never amount to anything" in the blink of an eye?
So often, we are dependent on external validation, like praise and accomplishments, for our worth. The problem is, when our worth depends on it, it can make for some temporary highs, and some pretty crappy lows.
I want to help you build a solid foundation of confidence that is not shaken by the amount of external validation you do, or don’t, get on any given day.
I want you to know your worth, and to know that it doesn’t change, no matter what.
In today's episode, I will show you how you can build a solid foundation on God, so you can experience success with ADHD in all areas of your life.
Let's get started!
