In this episode, I’m inviting you to reimagine the Sabbath — not as a checklist Sunday, but as a sacred rhythm already blessed and waiting for you to enter it. I revisit a topic I spoke about years ago in The ADHD Sabbath Struggle, but this time through new eyes — eyes softened by time, compassion, and a deeper understanding of what rest really looks like for a busy-brained Saint. As I share reflections from a recent ADHD adventure, insights from prophets across decades, and lessons from my own family’s experiments with Sabbath living, we’ll explore how to move beyond the “letter of the law” into a living relationship with the Lord — one built on curiosity, trust, and faith that God’s gifts are already here. If Sunday has ever felt overstimulating, performative, or heavy, this episode is your permission slip to rediscover the Sabbath as a place of delight, not demand. Join me as we practice “less Sunday, more Sabbath” — and learn how to create holiness, rest, and joy that feel true to your brain and your heart.   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🎄Holiday Coaching Package 2025 35 % off Regular Price!

Welcome back, Busy Brained Saints — my brain is busy, and my heart is full. 💛 In today’s episode, we’re getting real about what it means to live with ADHD — even when you coach others through it. I’m sharing some of the 100 ADHD things I still do, from leaving dishes overnight and forgetting sunglasses to showing up five minutes late to therapy (on purpose). This episode is about releasing the shame, softening self-judgment, and learning to work with the brain God gave us — not against it.   Whether you’re leaving preschool pickup reminders on repeat or re-learning compassion for yourself in a new season, this episode is a gentle reminder: you don’t have to be mistake-free to be effective. You just need to be willing to grow — with grace, humor, and Jesus. ✨ Highlights: Learning to hold your ADHD quirks with kindness Letting go of perfection and shame Finding peace in spiritual transitions Why “progress over performance” is the real goal How Christ helps us co-regulate and recover faster 🕊️ Take a breath. Laugh a little. Lighten up. You’re doing better than you think — and God knows it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🎄Holiday Coaching Package 2025 35 % off Regular Price!

Kamden opens her heart about the talk that reshaped her discipleship and ADHD journey: President Russell M. Nelson’s “Overcome the World and Find Rest.” This episode weaves testimony with real-life practice—from a year of 6:30 a.m. live scripture body-doubling (and the burnout that followed) to learning how spiritual rest, self-discipline, and agency can steady a busy brain. With warmth and candor, Kamden reflects on choosing Christ over crowd-pleasing, finding peace at home amid neurodiversity, and letting covenants lift us “above the pull of the world.” In this episode, you’ll hear: Why “take charge of your testimony” mirrors taking ownership of ADHD. How novelty, flexibility, and sustainable rhythms prevent spiritual + nervous-system burnout. A practical STEAR map lens (Situation-Thought-Emotion-Action-Result) for gospel living. The difference between scarcity seeking dopamine and abundance rooted in gratitude. What President Nelson’s joyful example teaches about peace, purpose, and rest in Christ.

What if asking wasn’t about already knowing the answer, but about creating space to receive? In this short episode, Kamden explores the intersection of ADHD, creativity, and faith—how our busy, imaginative minds can actually model what it means to come before God with openness. Drawing from scripture and personal experience, she reflects on asking not from fear or pressure, but from trust, creativity, and curiosity. This isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about showing up with an open heart, an empty bowl, and the faith that God delights in filling it.   MiNDFUL is open!  ADHD Group Coaching for Latter-Day Saints and Friends Follow Kamden on Social Media @kamden_adhd @thebusybrainedsaint

In this episode of The Busy Brained Saint Podcast, Kamden unpacks what it means to practice differentiation—the ability to hold onto your own thoughts and feelings without getting lost in someone else’s. Drawing from her experience with ADHD, a heartfelt Instagram message, and the lived reality of ward boundary changes, she explores why people-pleasing feels so natural for ADHDers and why it’s worth the hard work of learning to stand in your own worth. Through personal stories, insights from therapy, and gospel truths—including Elder Donald L. Hallstrom’s reminder that “I Am a Child of God”—this episode connects the dots between mental health skills and spiritual identity. As members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, we can anchor ourselves in the eternal truth that our worth is already secure in God, even when circumstances or emotions feel overwhelming. If you’ve ever struggled to feel seen, or wondered how to balance connection with authenticity, this episode offers tools and encouragement to help you stay grounded, faithful, and whole.

In a world full of loud voices and rising contention, what does it really mean to be a peacemaker—especially when you have ADHD? In this episode, Kamden explores both the spiritual call to peace and the neurological challenges that make it harder. With ADHD, emotions often run high, impulsivity can spark quick reactions, and overstimulation can lead to conflict. Drawing on President Russell M. Nelson’s invitation to “choose to be a peacemaker, now and always,” and his reminder that “anger never persuades, hostility never heals,” Kamden shares why this counsel can feel especially difficult for busy brains and how to work with those challenges. Together, we’ll talk about practical ways to build bridges instead of walls, extend the pure love of Christ in daily conversations, and remember our divine worth (and the worth of others) as we navigate disagreements. If you’ve ever wondered how to live with conviction and compassion at the same time—and how to do that with an ADHD brain—this conversation will leave you with hope and clear direction: contention is a choice, but so is peace.   Sources:  Peacemakers Needed  Russell M.

Have you ever felt restless, bored, or even frustrated in the temple—and then wondered if that meant something was wrong with your faith? If so, you’re not alone. In this episode, I get real about what it’s like to attend the temple with ADHD. After nearly 20 years of temple attendance, I’ve experienced both profound revelation and the honest ADHD realities of boredom, understimulation, and executive function struggles. We’ll talk about: Why the temple can feel hard with ADHD (long stillness, repetition, sensory overwhelm, scheduling barriers, and the pressure to “feel spiritual” every time). Why the temple is actually really good for ADHD brains (structure, symbolism, repetition as a learning tool, opportunities for hyperfocus, and the spiritual “reset” it provides). Practical ADHD-friendly hacks like keeping your temple bag in the laundry room, using sour candies or fidget rings, bringing a one-word theme to anchor your focus, letting yourself show up grumpy, and even outsourcing your reservation. Spiritual reframes that help: allowing boredom, bringing your doubts and frustrations to God in the temple, and remembering that the Restoration is ongoing—God wants us to understand what is happening there. The temple is both a challenge and a gift for ADHDers. It stretches our brains in uncomfortable ways, but it also gives us clarity, resilience, and connection with God that we can’t get anywhere else. If you’ve ever felt like your ADHD makes temple worship “less than,” this episode will remind you that your worship—boredom, fidgets, doubts, grumpiness and all—counts. God isn’t asking for your perfection. He’s asking for you. 💛 Resources: The Temple and Your Spiritual Foundation by President Russell M.

When you hear the phrase “obedience with exactness,” do you think it means being flawless? In this episode, I share why exactness isn’t about perfection—it’s about consecration. Through a story of axe-throwing at Young Women’s Camp, we’ll explore what it means to be teachable, to receive instruction, and to invite God into our imperfect efforts. Life doesn’t come with a manual, and for those of us with ADHD, we often process instructions differently than others expect. That doesn’t mean we’re disobedient—it means our path looks unique. When we consecrate our performance to the Lord, He promises to turn our tries (whether successful or messy) into learning, growth, and strength. If you’ve ever felt like your “obedience” doesn’t measure up, this episode will encourage you to see consecration as the heart of discipleship—and to trust that God magnifies even the imperfect.   Restore Conference Tickets Code for 10% off: BUSYBRAIN10 --------------------------------------------------- MiNDFUL is open!  ADHD Group Coaching  Follow Kamden on Social Media @kamden_adhd @thebusybrainedsaint

In this episode, Kamden explores how unresolved trauma — both big and small — can leave behind “sensitivity buttons” that the adversary loves to push. She shares personal insights on how these unprocessed experiences can resurface years later, fueling distraction, avoidance, and even what scripture calls “transgression.” Drawing from therapy, coaching, and faith, Kamden discusses how healing makes those buttons less sensitive, strengthens our spiritual armor, and helps us find joy and focus in God’s work. She also unpacks why our brains often confuse discomfort with danger, why play is the opposite of trauma, and how awareness is key to resilience.   Restore Conference Tickets Code for 10% off: BUSYBRAIN10 --------------------------------------------------- MiNDFUL is open!  ADHD Group Coaching  Follow Kamden on Social Media @kamden_adhd @thebusybrainedsaint

Whether it’s switching from work mode to mom mode, stepping into a new calling, or wrapping up a family road trip that felt more like a survival challenge — transitions are everywhere. And if you have ADHD, they don’t just feel inconvenient... they feel existential. In this episode, I share five of the most common transitions we experience as humans (day to day, year to year, and across a lifetime) — and why they hit so differently for the ADHD brain. I also open up about the transition I didn’t see coming this summer: coming home from our big family road trip and trying to reintegrate without losing my mind... or my laundry. If you’ve ever wondered why change feels like chaos — even good change — this episode is for you. Let’s normalize the grief, the resistance, the overstimulation, and the awkward grace of moving from one season to the next.   Restore Conference Tickets Code for 10% off: BUSYBRAIN10 --------------------------------------------------- MiNDFUL is open!  ADHD Group Coaching  Follow Kamden on Social Media @kamden_adhd @thebusybrainedsaint

In this episode, we explore the difference between your survival brain and your thinking brain—and why understanding that difference is a game-changer for ADHD.

In this episode of The Busy Brained Saint, we're naming the unspoken rules and internalized beliefs that often sabotage the ADHD experience—especially for those of us trying to live a faithful, values-aligned life. From “I have to be consistent to be successful” to “I shouldn’t need help if I’m smart,” we unpack the subtle (and sometimes loud) ways our culture, upbringing, and expectations have trained us to distrust our own brains. These beliefs don’t just get in the way of productivity—they chip away at our sense of worth, our spiritual identity, and our capacity to show up fully in the life God is inviting us to co-create. This episode walks you through: The top beliefs that don’t serve the ADHD brain Why they feel true (but aren’t) What more life-giving, ADHD-affirming truths sound like instead How to begin replacing guilt-based rulebooks with something more aligned with grace, progress, and divine trust This conversation is a call to stop trying to become the “ideal” version of yourself and start embracing the way your brain was actually designed to work—with flexibility, creativity, and support.   Utah Area LDS + ADHD Conference  1:1 Coaching Details Follow Kamden on Social Media @kamden_adhd @thebusybrainedsaint

In this episode, Kamden shares a tender spiritual reflection on self-worth, struggle, and the quiet, steady mercy of God — even in moments when He feels far away. Drawing on stories from scripture, including the heartbreaking scene in Alma 14 where Amulek watches helplessly as women and children are cast into the flames, Kamden explores what it means to believe in a God who doesn’t always rescue us from pain but instead sanctifies it. Through personal stories and lived experience, she invites listeners to consider that just because Christ suffered doesn’t mean we’re supposed to hurt more to prove our devotion. Maybe, she suggests, the invitation is to co-create with God — to hand Him our burdens and make space for more rest, joy, patience, and presence. This episode is a gentle call to stop comparing pain, to stop carrying it all alone, and to believe that trusting God with your grief doesn’t minimize it — it consecrates it.   Utah Area LDS + ADHD Conference  1:1 Coaching Details Follow Kamden on Social Media @kamden_adhd @thebusybrainedsaint

In this powerful episode of The Busy Brained Saint, we’re joined by Sierra Larson—a woman whose life reflects deep faith, bold leadership, and lived neurodivergence. Sierra is a U.S. Air Force chaplain, a stake Relief Society president, a licensed counselor, a mother, and co-host of the Guiding Light podcast. She was also diagnosed with ADHD in her early 30s—an insight that reframed her entire life and strengthened her resolve to lead from aplace of honesty and compassion. Together, we explore the often-unseen layers of spiritual leadership, the integration of faith and psychology, and the challenges of navigating systems that don’t always make room for neurodivergence—especially for women. Sierra shares how her ADHD now informs the way she ministers, leads, and connects with others, and what she wishes more people within the Church understood about neurodiverse minds. If you’ve ever felt called to lead in a way that doesn’t quite fit the mold—or if you’re just starting to recognize your own ADHD story—this conversation is for you.   Utah Area LDS + ADHD Conference  1:1 Coaching Details Follow Kamden on Social Media @kamden_adhd @thebusybrainedsaint

In this soul-stirring episode, Kamden challenges the belief that being “too much” is something to hide or fix. What if the discomfort others felt around your joy, awe, or passion said more about their limitations than your brightness? Today, we explore the full spectrum of expansive, high-vibration emotions—joy, surrender, love, and wonder—and how many of us were conditioned to stay small to keep others comfortable. Kamden shares how emotional intensity isn’t something to fear but something we were designed to experience. When others label us as too loud, too sensitive, or too passionate, it often reveals the boundary of their own healing—not a flaw in our expression. This episode is a powerful invitation to reclaim your space, live safely in joy, and stop dimming your light just to fit within someone else’s comfort zone. Tune in for a healing reminder: your emotional fullness is not a problem. It’s part of your divine purpose.   Utah Area LDS + ADHD Conference  MiNDFUL Group Coaching Follow Kamden on Social Media @kamden_adhd @thebusybrainedsaint

In this episode of The Busy Brained Saint, we’re exploring the sneaky lie so many of us—especially those with ADHD—cling to: the idea that if we can just control enough things, we’ll finally feel safe. But what if that sense of safety is a counterfeit? What if chasing certainty is actually keeping us from the peace we’re craving? We’ll talk about why the ADHD brain longs for control, how anxiety shows up when we try to do God's job, and what the gospel of Jesus Christ offers instead. You’ll hear truth about joy in the midst of uncertainty, hope in the heaviness of the world, and how to release the exhausting need to “hold it all together.” This one’s for the over-functioners, the worriers, and the ones trying really hard to be everything for everyone. Take a deep breath—you’re not alone, and you don’t have to carry this by yourself.   Utah Area LDS + ADHD Conference  MiNDFUL Group Coaching Follow Kamden on Social Media @kamden_adhd @thebusybrainedsaint  

In this episode of The Busy Brained Saint, Kamden unpacks a powerful section from Tamara Rosier’s book, Your Brain’s Not Broken, titled “Dancing Through a Minefield.” This chapter highlights nine common thinking traps that often catch ADHDers off guard—especially those who naturally rely on divergent thinking. From chasing only big challenges to overcomplicating tasks or getting stuck in problem-finding mode, Kamden walks you through each of these patterns with insight and real-life application. Whether you're newly diagnosed or decades into understanding your ADHD, this episode offers validation, language, and perspective to help you recognize where your brain might be tripping you up—and how to move forward more intentionally.   "Your Brain's Not Broken" by Dr. Tamara Rosier ___________________________________________________ Utah Area LDS + ADHD Conference  MiNDFUL Group Coaching Follow Kamden on Social Media @kamden_adhd @thebusybrainedsaint
