In this episode Kelsey Spronk invites listeners to stop seeing ADHD as a deficiency and instead view it as a unique set of characteristics.

Through quotes from healthcare professionals, Biblical encouragement, and practical suggestions for shaping your environment, she offers a perspective that honors God-created strengths and reduces shame.

Kelsey also shares strategies to build God-centered confidence, encourages seeking professional support when needed, and presents her own positive acronym for ADHD:

My new acronym for ADHD (you can come up with one that resonates for you!):

• • Attentive (receptive or aware)
  • Dynamic ((of a person) positive in attitude and full of energy and new ideas)
  • Honest (sincere, authentic)
  • Driven (dedicated, determined, daring)

Happy listening!

We all have basic physiological needs. But we need more than that!

We don't just want to survive. We want to thrive.

This is where your unique needs come in. These are the essentials beyond survival that help fill your cup and make you feel more alive.

In this episode, I will give some examples of needs, how they could look and how you can incorporate them into your life.

Happy listening!

Taking care of ourselves is important! But when you have ADHD, it can also feel daunting.

In today's episode, I will break self-care (specifically, sleep, nutrition and hydration) down into bite-size pieces (no pun intended!)

Start small!

You can start with 1 category at a time, or just choose 1-2 action steps in every category.

In each category (sleep, nutrition and hydration), we will ask these questions:

(1) What do you need?

(2) What makes this important

(3) How can you improve this area?

(4) What might get in your way? And how can you overcome that?

Why sleep matters:

According to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute:

“A common myth is that people can learn to get by on little sleep with no negative effects. However, research shows that getting enough quality sleep at the right times is vital for mental health, physical health, quality of life, and safety.”
