Today’s episode is your gentle-but-real gut check: you don’t need more planning, more information, or the “perfect” setup. You just need to take the next right step.
I’m sharing the story of how I got called out (in the best way) by a random YouTube video — and why so many of us use planning, researching, or “getting ready” as ADHD-safe-feeling procrastination. If you’ve been stuck in perfection mode or waiting for the ideal moment… this is the reminder you’ve been praying for.
And if you’re ready for support, structure, and accountability that helps you actually follow through?

💛 Inside The ADHD Consistency Collective, we create personalized versions of these systems — simple, sustainable, and spiritually grounded. But today, we’re starting small.
Your brain is always listening — to what you scroll, what you watch, and what you tell yourself. So if your days feel heavy, reactive, or constantly overstimulated… it might not be about “trying harder.” It might be about what you’re feeding your mind.
In this episode, we’ll talk about how to protect your peace by curating your inputs — not through legalism or guilt, but through awareness and intention. You’ll learn why ADHD brains are extra sensitive to emotional and sensory input, how Scripture invites us to renew our minds, and some easy swaps that help your brain feel calmer fast.
