Ugh, even the word, "boring", makes me want to run away or hide.

In today's episode, I will address the dread we feel as women with ADHD when we have to do something that doesn't interest us. Because, the reality is, sometimes in life we have to do boring things, whether we like it or not.

But don't fret, in today's episode we will talk about how the opposite of boring (those life-giving, exciting things in our lives) can actually help us get through the mundane things.

Happy listening!

142 // What is God Calling You to?17 Apr 202600:12:04

Has God placed a dream on your heart? Something you've wanted to pursue, but you've been fearful or unsure of how to pursue it?

In today's episode, I share insights from Rick Warren's book, Created to Dream, and practical questions to help identify and pursue the calling you feel God has placed on your heart.

Having ADHD can come with its challenges, but it can also come with incredible skills like empathy and creativity. I pray that you are able to discover and use your skills and recognize the incredible woman that you are.

141 // Are You Sure it's ADHD Holding You Back?14 Apr 202600:11:14

Something I want to add to today's episode is the importance of Nervous System Regulation in ADHD. I've recently been reading a book by Jenna Free, The Simple Guide to ADHD Regulation, and it's been so helpful!

I also want to add that there are real struggles to ADHD and I am not trying to diminish those. I simply want to challenge you to view yourself with grace, curiosity and kindness, instead of self-loathing and shame. 

What would change for you if you gave yourself grace, and functioned from a place of self-acceptance and love with ADHD, not of guilt and shame? (hint: as women with ADHD, we spend so much energy beating ourselves up and shaming ourselves - tip: apologize when necessary, but know that it’s not a reflection of your worth)

In today's episode, I want you to take a look at where you feel stuck and consider these questions:

  1. What is actually holding me back? Is it ADHD, or is it something else, like emotional dysregulation, fear or perfectionism?
  2. What would it look like for you to give something or someone a chance? How would it change your life?
  3. What would you experience if you truly believed that you are valuable?
  4. What would change if you believed you are capable of great things?

I pray that today's episode helps you to learn to give yourself grace, find practical supports and strategies, and step into your purpose with confidence—because you are enough and you are made on purpose.

What would you add to this list? 

What are the most misunderstood aspects of ADHD for you?

In today's episode, I share some of my own struggles and frustrations and what I wish people understood about having ADHD.

At the core of it? I wish people would see the good in us. We are incredible people with incredible gifts, who also sometimes have a hard time with things like responding to texts and emails. That doesn't make us bad or stupid!

I hope you can relate to this episode.

Sincerely,

Kelsey

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.

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.

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 Confidence17 Feb 202600:17:30

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:

  1. your thoughts
  2. your words
  3. your actions (what you say yes and no to)
  4. who you listen to, and
  5. 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.

121 // Can we stop calling ADHD a Difference, Deficiency or Disorder?03 Feb 202600:15:34

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)

119 // Feel Less Overwhelmed with ADHD by Focusing on Practical Self-Care27 Jan 202600:22:15

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.”
