The Busy Brained Saint Podcast

Understanding the ADHD Neurocrash

In this episode of The Busy Brained Saint Podcast, we dive deep into the concept of the "neurocrash," a term that perfectly captures the sudden mental and emotional drop many of us with ADHD experience after periods of intense focus, vulnerability, or high-stimulation activities. 
I’ll share personal stories and real-life examples of how neurocrash impacts daily life, relationships, and overall well-being. We'll explore the biological reasons behind this phenomenon, from dopamine dips to executive function fatigue, and discuss how our brains react to overstimulation and the subsequent drop-off.
But it’s not all science—we'll also get practical. I'll offer strategies to manage and recover from a neurocrash, from self-care tips to medication management, and emphasize the importance of recognizing and preparing for these moments. 
Whether you’re familiar with the concept or just discovering it, this episode will give you valuable insights into navigating life with ADHD. Tune in to learn more about why neurocrash happens and how to cope when it does.

Disneyland with ADHD

In this episode, we’re diving into the oddly specific yet incredibly important topic of navigating Disneyland with ADHD. As a parent, especially one raising kids with ADHD and other forms of neurodivergence, planning a family trip like this takes more than just mapping out the rides. I spent a lot of time preparing for our three-day adventure to Disneyland, not only focusing on the fun but also making it as ADHD-friendly as possible. I’m here to share all the strategies I used, from the snacks that kept us going to the accommodations Disney offers, how to plan your day effectively, and even how to set your family’s intention for the trip. Whether you’re headed to the Magic Kingdom or just want some travel tips for neurodiverse families, this episode is for you!

Mentally Healthy and Mission Ready

In this episode of The Busy Brained Saint Podcast is inspired by my brother's upcoming mission to Nicaragua. I explore the reasons behind the new efforts to support missionaries within The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints specific to their mental health. 
I explain why there is a growing focus on preparing missionaries not only spiritually and physically but also mentally. With societal changes and increased awareness of mental health needs, our approach to missionary service must adapt. I share insights on how members of the church can support prospective missionaries better, drawing from my experience as an ADHD coach and my own mission. This episode highlights the broader implications for future missionaries and the critical role mental health plays in their preparation and success.
Join me as I discuss the intersection of faith, service, and mental well-being, offering strategies to support missionaries on their journey. I delve into the importance of creating an environment where missionaries feel supported and understood, addressing the unique challenges they face today. By fostering open communication and providing resources for mental health, we can help our missionaries thrive.
