ADHD in Women and Girls: Why This is Not a Fad But a Cry for Help and Better Care

Evergreen Faith

There’s a quiet belief many of us carry: “I’ll deal with it later.” Later, when life slows down. Later, when it hurts less. Later, when we have more capacity. But pain that gets postponed doesn’t disappear. It gets stored. In this episode of the StableMinded Podcast, I’m sharing how God has been teaching me about pruning, rest, and healing, while also leading other women through the brand new Evergreen Retreat & Bible Study curriculum. These timely lessons from life and Scripture offer a fresh reminder of what it looks like to notice what our heart, mind, body, and soul are signaling and how to take healthy steps toward healing and growth. No matter what season you find yourself in today, may this episode give you perspective and a framework for taking the next step towards becoming rooted and resilient through pruning and rest.

Permission to Change: Part 2

In this episode of the StableMinded Podcast, we continue to explore what it looks like to give ourselves “permission to change.” By looking intentionally at our spiritual, emotional, and relational health through a framework drawn from Erikson's developmental model side-by-side with the stages of spiritual maturity, we can gain insight into how our developmental wounds and attachment patterns shape the way we relate to God and others. These patterns and coping strategies often rise to the surface when we face “the wall,” also known as the dark soul of the night, which usually occurs during or after a season of suffering. This is when faith is truly tested. And that is often when we get stuck. The way forward requires intentional pursuit, and that pursuit can create friction in relationships, routines, and expectations. But with the right support in place, and strategies that strive to preserve healthy relationships while deepening faith and resiliency, it is possible to experience God's transforming work in your heart, soul, mind, and body.  Key takeaways * Transformation requires intention and often brings relational tension. * Spiritual maturity is a process, and many people get stuck in suffering seasons. * Developmental wounds can shape faith, relationships, and resilience. * Healing is holistic and may require mentorship, spiritual direction, and therapy. * Colossians 3 frames change as continual surrender: put off the old, put on the new, and choose love.

Permission to Change, Part 1

You have permission to change. The hard part is that when we change, it can unsettle relationships. People often relate to us based on who we have been, while God is inviting us into who we are becoming. Can you relate? If so, this episode is for you! It's time to explore, from multiple angles, how to give ourselves permission to change without becoming selfish and self-absorbed, reactive, or even a bit rebellious. We'll hold space for exploring how to move forward while still showing empathy and compassion for the people adjusting to our transformation. Yes, this is another episode coming straight from my lived experience, which I'm bringing to you because I wish I had this perspective a long time ago. So tune into this first part to hear what I've learned and then come back for Part 2, where I'll unpack for you a framework for assessing the seasons and stages of your transformation through a faith integrated with neuropyschological approach for your emotional, relational, and spiritual growth process.

ADHD in Women and Girls: Why This is Not a Fad But a Cry for Help and Better Care

If you have ever felt like you are capable and caring, but constantly behind, scattered, overwhelmed by anxiety that fights against your faith, or defeated by being accused that you're too _____ (sensitive, emotional, inconsiderate, bossy, etc), then this episode is for you. We are talking about ADHD in women and girls, and why this isn't a fad but a cry for help and better care. ADHD has gone undiagnosed in girls for far too long, dismissed by the stereotype of hyperactivity as it is seen in boys. In fact, one might say that where girls are underdiagnosed, boys are overdiagnosed. But for this episode, we focus on how ADHD presents in a female, why it is often missed, what is actually happening in the brain, and the practical supports that can make everyday life feel more manageable. Consider this your high-level overview seasoned with hope and encouragement to continue the exploration of ADHD and how it may be affecting you or the women and girls in your life. If this resonates, share it with a friend who has been carrying shame or confusion. There is hope, and there are next steps. To find complete show notes and helpful links, visit StableMinded.us.

Limits, Loss, and Holding Eternal Hope

If you’ve ever thought, “Why can’t I just be over this?” this one is for you. This episode of the StableMinded Podcast is a real-time, from-the-heart conversation about the roller coaster of emotions that come when we experience the limits of our humanity, the challenges of grief and loss, and what it means to hold the hope of eternity in mind. In this episode, we talk about: * The confusing “both-and” of grief and relief * The grief we don’t name enough: accepting people’s limitations * The tension of living between what is and what we want Sometimes what we are craving is actually a longing for heaven-on-earth. When we step back and see our current situation from that vantage point, we're better set up to embrace our limits, release others from unrealistic expectations, process the loss and grief that comes both in life and death, and shift our perspective towards remembering that this life is temporary. This is our journey from Eden to Eternity, where longing for beauty, perfection, and redemption beckons us onward. Even so, we live in the not yet. So if you’re walking through loss, disappointment, estrangement, or a relationship that will not become what you hoped, lean in and be encouraged. And be ready to jot down the journal questions near the end to help you name what you need, release what you cannot control, and ask God for the grace to live your “new normal.” Helpful Links * Thrive Tool Box [https://ondemand.stableminded.us/thrive-tool-box] * StableMinded On Demand [https://ondemand.stableminded.us/] * Highlands Ability Battery [https://stableminded.us/highlands/] * Equipped Group Coaching Program [https://ondemand.stableminded.us/equipped-group-coaching] Connect & Grow Links Evergreen Retreat & Bible Study [https://ondemand.stableminded.us/evergreen] Stableminded.us [http://stableminded.us/] StableMinded On Demand [https://ondemand.stableminded.us/] Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/stableminded.us/] Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/stableminded.us] ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
