(2) This episode is a great reminder of something a lot of us women with ADHD struggle with... feeling misunderstood!
I hope you enjoy the listen. Thanks for being here!
Sincerely,
Kelsey

131 // This One Thing Matters More than Skills or Abilities in ADHD

When we feel discouraged, when we want to give up, there's one thing that matters more than our skills or abilities in ADHD.
What is that one thing? Hope.
Hope that things can improve. Hope that we can feel confident. Hope that we will find a place to belong. Hope that we are capable of feeling like enough. 
In today's episode, I will go through four steps to help you find and choose hope in your journey to building confidence with ADHD. 
I pray this episode blesses you! Don't forget to follow so you don't miss the next episode :)

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 spouse?
Am I a good enough employee or business owner?
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.
So, how do we learn to feel confident about who our worth and identity? Join me in today's episode and I'll walk you through it!

125 // 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.
