The Busy Brained Saint Podcast

General Conference, ADHD and Trusting Personal Revelation

General Conference can be an incredible opportunity for personal revelation—but for ADHDers, it can also feel like an information overload. The urge to write everything down, capture every quote, and keep up with every talk can leave us exhausted and disconnected from what matters most. In this episode, we’re rethinking how we approach Conference with ADHD. Inspired by Elder David A. Bednar’s counsel—“Nothing you hear tonight will come from my voice… Write down what the Holy Ghost tells you”—we’ll explore why ADHDers feel the need to write everything down, how we can develop greater self-trust in receiving revelation, and practical strategies to truly hear what God has for us. Instead of fighting our ADHD, we can work with our brains to create a more meaningful, Spirit-led experience. Tune in for a fresh perspective on engaging with General Conference in a way that works for you!

Do You Really Need to Be Fixed?

Have you ever felt like if you were just a little more patient, a little more disciplined, or a little more faithful, things would finally fall into place? Maybe you’ve believed that if you worked harder on yourself, others would change—the child would listen, the relationship would heal, the burden would lift. But what if self-improvement isn’t about fixing yourself to fix the situation?
In this episode, we explore the pressure to constantly improve through the lens of ADHD and faith. We’ll talk about why personal growth isn’t a bargaining chip for better outcomes, how to find optimism even in hardship, and when it’s time to stop waiting for others to change and step into our calling—just like Moses did. Through scripture, ADHD insights, and personal reflection, we’ll uncover the truth: You are not broken. And you are not responsible for changing everyone around you. If you’ve been carrying the weight of believing you’re the problem, this episode is for you.

The ADHD Sabbath Struggle

Isn’t the Sabbath supposed to be a day of rest? Then why does it sometimes feel so restless for an ADHD brain? In this episode, I dive into the struggle of slowing down, being still, and finding peace on a day that’s meant for renewal—but can often feel frustrating or even guilt-ridden when our brains won’t cooperate.
I’ll explore why traditional ideas of “rest” don’t always work for ADHDers, common pitfalls (like overcommitting to spiritual goals or hyperfocusing on the wrong things), and how to create a Sabbath experience that actually feels soul-filling. Plus, I’ll share practical, ADHD-friendly ways to connect with God, engage spiritually without overwhelm, and make the Sabbath a day you actually look forward to.
If you’ve ever felt like your Sabbath rest is more exhausting than restful, this episode is for you. Tune in and let’s reimagine what true renewal looks like for the busy-brained saint.

Shiny Objects: The Illusion of Progress

Have you ever felt the rush of excitement when a new idea, project, or opportunity pops into your mind—only to abandon it once the novelty wears off? That’s Shiny Object Syndrome in action. For ADHD brains, the pull toward newness feels like progress, but in reality, it often keeps us stuck, jumping from one thing to the next without ever experiencing the deep satisfaction of follow-through. In this episode, we’ll explore why ADHD makes us crave novelty, how avoiding discomfort keeps us in cycles of distraction, and what it really means to trust our executive mind over our impulsive urges.
Through the lens of both psychology and faith, we’ll look at how this pattern affects decision-making, leadership, and personal growth. Using the story of the Brother of Jared in Ether 2, we’ll discuss the difference between pausing for revelation and stalling out of fear. If you've ever felt like you’re waiting at the “seashore” instead of moving forward, this episode will help you recognize where Shiny Object Syndrome is holding you back—and give you the tools to break free and build real momentum in your life.

Patient Urgency: Trusting God’s Timing While Moving Forward

Patience and urgency—two things that seem totally opposite, yet God calls us to develop both, sometimes at different moments and sometimes at the exact same time. In this episode, we explore how learning to balance waiting on the Lord with taking action can help us not only strengthen our faith but also manage ADHD challenges like impulsivity and procrastination. I share scripture stories of people who had to wait (sometimes painfully) and others who had to act immediately—and how both approaches are essential in God’s plan. Plus, I open up about our own infertility and adoption journey, where patience and urgency collided in ways I never expected. If you’ve ever wondered, “Am I supposed to wait or move forward?”—this episode is for you!

Justice Asks: What is Needed?

Justice isn’t about control—it’s about care. In this episode, we explore how Christlike leadership asks, “What support do you need?” rather than “Why aren’t you more like others?” ADHDers may feel out of place in structured religious spaces, but Zion is meant to include every kind of brain. We’ll discuss how the priesthood reflects our divine DNA, why true justice is about liberation, not punishment, and how we can create a Church culture where neurodivergent and neurotypical members alike can thrive in Christ.

Why Limits Set Us Free

Do constraints really set us free? In this episode, we explore how healthy limitations—like routines, time management, and structured decision-making—can actually reduce overwhelm, strengthen executive function, and help ADHD brains thrive. Just as God set boundaries on the sea (Job 38:10-11), His commandments and covenants provide structure that keeps us from being tossed to and fro (2 Corinthians 5:14, Alma 42:27). Instead of resisting constraints, what if we embraced them as tools for greater trust in ourselves, more peace, and a deeper connection with God?
Join me as we break down how constraints support ADHD brains, how they help us trust ourselves and achieve more, and how we can apply divine principles of order to create a life that feels both structured and free. If you’ve ever struggled with impulsivity, decision fatigue, or feeling scattered, this episode is for you!

Master Manipulation or ADHD?

Have you ever witnessed someone—child, teen, or adult—react to disappointment or stress with emotions that seem larger than the moment? In this episode, we unpack why those with ADHD experience intense emotional reactions and how their brain chemistry amplifies these challenges. Using real-life examples, we explore the biological and emotional reasons behind these moments, offering insights on how to support yourself or your loved ones through them. From basketball games to emotional “white lies,” we’ll discuss what’s really happening, why it’s not manipulation, and how grounding, compassion, and even faith can play a pivotal role in regulation. This conversation is all about shifting the narrative from judgment to understanding.

Do It Bored

Does every task need to feel exciting or motivating to get done? Not at all—but for ADHD brains, boredom can feel insurmountable. In this episode of The Busy Brained Saint, we talk about the power of pushing through when things feel boring, monotonous, or emotionally undesirable.
We’ll explore why ADHD makes boring tasks feel so tough, how to identify what’s truly making something hard, and practical strategies to get things done anyway. Learn how to reframe your approach to life’s less exciting moments and make progress—even when it feels boring.
If you struggle with getting through the “boring stuff,” this episode will equip you with tools to do it bored—and do it anyway.
