More Than Ambition

64. How to resist the noise and embrace a slower life with Andrea Burke

It seems like so many people are craving a "slow life", but are we actually putting in the effort to change our pace? In my (Dusty Hegge [https://dustyhegge.com]) conversation with Andrea Burke [https://andreagburke.com], we talk about the value of living more intentionally, slowly, and surrendered, and how our legacy is so much more than the money we leave behind. We swap silly (and slightly traumatizing) pet stories, the beauty of embracing our heritage, and the value of leaning into the quiet joys of life like music, gardening, and stargazing. If you need a warm hug and permission to take a step off the hamster wheel of overwhelm and enjoy your daily life, this is the episode for you, my friend!

61. Let's talk about ADHD as a Christian

I'm (Dusty Hegge [https://dustyhegge.com]) joined by ADHD coach, Christian Craig [https://beacons.ai/christiancraig?utm_source=threads&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio], to talk all things ADHD! This is a topic so very near and dear to me, as an ADHDer myself who really believes in beauty and power of self-discipline, the importance of seeking to live an obedient and joyful life - I find the that dialogue in the online space around ADHD tends to lean toward one of two extremes, but usually the truth tends to lie somewhere in the middle. So, in this episode, Christian and I talk about ADHD through a more holistic and grounded lens! It's such a fun conversation. WE TALK ABOUT: * Our identity as Christian ADHDers (p.s. It's still found in Christ) * Unique challenges Christian ADHDers tend to face * Practical ways to manage and treat ADHD more holistically CHRISTIAN'S LINKS Scattered Sheep Collective [https://www.skool.com/scattered-but-called-9058/about?ref=f5edde21a6cf446c81aad3a5656f69ed] (An online community for ADHD Christians) YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/@iamchristiancraig] DUSTY'S LINKS: Website: https://dustyhegge.com [https://dustyhegge.com] GET YOUR FREE ACTION PLANNER [https://dustyhegge.com/action-planner]: THE FREE WORK PLANNER UNIQUELY DESIGNED FOR THE INCONSISTENT COACH, AUTHOR, OR LEADER WHO’S READY TO TAKE PERSISTENT ACTION.
