You start every January with a Bible reading plan. Three weeks later, you're drowning in Leviticus and beating yourself up for failing again. Sound familiar?

If you've ever wondered what's wrong with your brain, why you can't stay consistent with spiritual practices, or if God is disappointed in you for struggling so much, this episode is for you.

In this vulnerable conversation, I share my journey of getting diagnosed with ADHD this year and how it completely transformed my relationship with God. No more performing. No more forcing formulas that were never designed for how my brain works. Just freedom to meet God in ways that actually honor how He made me.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why consistency in traditional spiritual disciplines feel impossible for ADHD brains
• The shame and guilt cycle that keeps you stuck
• How my ADHD diagnosis was actually an answered prayer
• What it looks like to do quiet time differently every single day (and why that's okay)
• Practical ways to connect with God when your brain craves novelty
• How to let go of external expectations and lean into your intimate relationship with God
• Why struggling doesn't mean something is wrong with you spiritually

Whether you're officially diagnosed with ADHD or just deeply relate to these struggles, there's freedom waiting for you. Your brain isn't the problem. The expectations are.
