  The Names We Were Called

  Aug 20, 202633 min

  Careless. Lazy. Space cadet. Hot mess. If any of those words still make you flinch, this episode is for you. Kamden breaks down the everyday labels ADHDers hear — from childhood name-calling to workplace feedback — and translates each one back into what's actually happening in an ADHD brain, straight from the diagnostic criteria. This isn't about excuses. It's about the difference between a label that shames and a diagnosis that explains. Kamden walks through inattentive and hyperactive symptoms one by one, showing how "irresponsible" is really working memory, how "lazy" is really a stalled dopamine system, and how "rude" is really a brain that can't filter stimuli the way a neurotypical one does. If you've spent years believing these labels were just who you are, this episode offers a different starting point: it makes sense — and now you get to choose what comes next. Topics covered: ADHD labels and stigma, ADHD shame, DSM-5 ADHD symptoms explained, inattentive vs. hyperactive ADHD, ADHD and self-worth, reframing ADHD diagnosis FREE ADHD COACHING MINI SESSION

  Actions Are The Distraction

  Aug 12, 202618 min

  Ever feel like you know what to change, but your brain just won't let you do it? In this episode, Kamden breaks down why chasing the result — the timer, the planner, the "just be on time" hack — almost never works long-term for ADHD brains, because the real problem isn't the action. It's what's fueling it. Kamden walks through her approach as a causal coach: working backward from the behavior you want to change to find the belief, fear, or nervous system response actually driving it. Using two relatable examples — a workplace pattern of shame and hiding, and the surprisingly universal struggle of putting on shoes — she shows how the exact same action can come from two completely different internal places, and why that difference changes everything about how sustainable the change actually is. If you've tried all the hacks and you're still stuck, this episode will help you understand why — and what to look at instead. Free Coaching Mini Session

  The Discipline of Constraint: ADHD Edition

  Aug 5, 202634 min

  The Discipline of Constraint: ADHD Edition Ever been told to "just choose one thing and do it"? For an ADHD brain, that advice can feel almost impossible — and today I'm breaking down why. In this episode, I use the image of a bowling alley with no gutters — just one big open floor and 15 sets of pins in the distance — to explain what it's actually like inside an ADHD brain. While a neurotypical brain sees clear lanes and naturally knows where to aim, our brains see everything at once, with no built-in boundaries to guide us. That's why "just focus on one thing" can feel so much harder than it sounds. We'll talk about: Why your brain isn't broken, it's just missing the gutters How the limbic brain's motivational triad (conserve energy, avoid pain, seek pleasure) convinces us that chaos feels safer than constraint What it means to become the "VIP tour guide" of your own brain Practical ways to build your own gutters — lights, noodles, alarms, music, whatever works — so you can constrain to one lane at a time How to tell the difference between necessary pivots (like a hungry four-year-old) and the ping-pong ball effect Why constraining your focus doesn't mean being unrealistic, and why it's a skill, not a personality flaw Constraint is hard, and if it feels hard, that means you're doing it right. You don't have to knock down every pin at once to be worthy — you have to learn that as boring as it is you get to pick a lane and start. FREE MINI SESSION

  Focused Faith E6: Jesus Christ Is Not Our Burden, He Is Our Relief

  Jul 16, 202645 min

  Focused Faith: Jesus Christ Is Not Our Burden, He Is Our Relief Heyo, busy brain — welcome back to Focused Faith, the monthly segment where we explore gospel topics through the lens of ADHD. This month I'm joined by my friend Melanie Stroud, host of the Come Follow Me For Us podcast, and we're digging into a beautiful talk from April 2026 General Conference: "Jesus Christ Is Not Our Burden, He Is Our Relief" by Elder David J. Wunderli. We talk about the backpack full of rocks we all carry, why ADHD brains especially tend to grip tight and try to muscle through instead of surrender, and what it actually looks like to let Christ lighten the load instead of just walking beside Him. Melanie also opens up about a hard season she's in right now — and how choosing relief instead of another to-do item has made all the difference. This one's honest, a little scattered (in the best way), and full of real talk about prioritization, rejection sensitivity, distraction, and how showing up imperfectly is still showing up. Come as you are — busy brain and all. Download Here: Free ADHD-centric worship guide

  You Don't Have to Hide Your Brain

  Jul 9, 202623 min

  So many people with ADHD carry a quiet shame — not because ADHD is a flaw, but because of how often it's been pointed out, joked about, or misunderstood by the people around them. This episode explores where that shame comes from, why it shows up so often in relationships and marriages, and what it actually feels like to be fully known and accepted without having to explain or defend your brain. If you've ever masked your ADHD, apologized for how your mind works, or felt embarrassed by a diagnosis, this conversation is a reminder: your brain isn't something to hide. It's something to understand — and you deserve people who meet you with curiosity instead of judgment. Shop ADHD Store Free ADHD Coaching Mini Session
