    Focused Faith E6: Jesus Christ Is Not Our Burden, He Is Our Relief

    Focused Faith: Jesus Christ Is Not Our Burden, He Is Our Relief Heyo, busy brain — welcome back to Focused Faith, the monthly segment where we explore gospel topics through the lens of ADHD. This month I'm joined by my friend Melanie Stroud, host of the Come Follow Me For Us podcast, and we're digging into a beautiful talk from April 2026 General Conference: "Jesus Christ Is Not Our Burden, He Is Our Relief" by Elder David J. Wunderli. We talk about the backpack full of rocks we all carry, why ADHD brains especially tend to grip tight and try to muscle through instead of surrender, and what it actually looks like to let Christ lighten the load instead of just walking beside Him. Melanie also opens up about a hard season she's in right now — and how choosing relief instead of another to-do item has made all the difference. This one's honest, a little scattered (in the best way), and full of real talk about prioritization, rejection sensitivity, distraction, and how showing up imperfectly is still showing up. Come as you are — busy brain and all. Download Here:  Free ADHD-centric worship guide

    You Don't Have to Hide Your Brain

    So many people with ADHD carry a quiet shame — not because ADHD is a flaw, but because of how often it's been pointed out, joked about, or misunderstood by the people around them. This episode explores where that shame comes from, why it shows up so often in relationships and marriages, and what it actually feels like to be fully known and accepted without having to explain or defend your brain. If you've ever masked your ADHD, apologized for how your mind works, or felt embarrassed by a diagnosis, this conversation is a reminder: your brain isn't something to hide. It's something to understand — and you deserve people who meet you with curiosity instead of judgment. Shop ADHD Store Free ADHD Coaching Mini Session

    When Good Feels Bad

    In this episode, we explore what happens when you finally reach a goal—but it doesn’t feel the way you expected. For many with ADHD, success can come with unexpected discomfort, self-doubt, and even anxiety as the brain tries to make sense of “good feeling bad.” We unpack the familiar ADHD patterns of overthinking, scanning for what might go wrong, and returning to old stories of not being enough. Through the “old teddy bear vs. new teddy bear” analogy, you’ll learn how your nervous system adapts to change—and why discomfort doesn’t mean something has gone wrong. You’ll walk away with a practical way to notice old thought patterns, pause, and choose a new response rooted in self-trust, emotional regulation, and freedom from survival-based thinking. This is about learning to let good feel new—and letting yourself grow into it.   00:00 When Good Feels Bad 00:12 Welcome and Weekly Journal 01:37 Why Success Feels Unsafe 03:21 Your Comfort Zone Teddy Bear 07:15 Limbic Brain Stories 11:02 Self Trust Over Scanning 14:50 Acclimating to New Good 17:53 Leveling Up in Sports 19:03 Events and Closing Encouragement Sign Up for Kamden's weekly ADHD journal HERE!

    Rejection Express: When ADHD Makes Rejection Feel Devastating

    Rejection with ADHD isn't just "being sensitive"—it can feel like a freight train crashing through your nervous system. In this deeply personal episode, Kamden shares a vulnerable story of public embarrassment, rejection sensitivity (RSD), and what it looked like to regulate, recover, and keep showing up anyway. If criticism, shame, or feeling misunderstood hits you harder than it seems to hit everyone else, this episode will help you feel seen—and remind you that even painful experiences can become sacred teachers.

    ADHD Symptoms Are "The Problem", Not You.

    In this episode of The Busy Brained Saint Podcast, Kamden Hainsworth talks about the difference between who you are and the symptoms of ADHD. After listening to a research talk on ADHD and relationships from Kristen Carter, Kamden shares how it brought up strong emotions as a parent and led her to reflect on how easy it is to turn ADHD struggles into personal shame. She explains that ADHD symptoms can create difficult behaviors like forgetfulness, overwhelm, and emotional dysregulation—but those behaviors are not your identity. You are not “lazy” or “too much.” You are a person with a brain that works differently. This episode is a reminder that you are not the problem—your symptoms are something you can understand, manage, and work with, without shame. Schedule a free ADHD mini session with Kamden

    Motherhood, Adoption & ADHD: Rewriting the Stories We Tell Ourselves with Rachel Nielson

    Rachel Nielson, host of the beloved podcast 3 in 30 Takeaways for Moms, joins me for an honest conversation about receiving an ADHD diagnosis at age 41 and how it reframed decades of feeling scattered, overwhelmed, and "not quite enough." Together we explore the realities of ADHD in women, motherhood, entrepreneurship, adoption, self-compassion, and the power of understanding your unique brain. Rachel shares how becoming a mother revealed challenges she couldn't explain, how her son's ADHD diagnosis led her to her own answers, and why learning to work with her brain instead of against it changed everything. This conversation is full of wisdom, vulnerability, and hope for any woman who has ever wondered why life feels harder than it seems to for everyone else. In this episode we discuss: • Late-diagnosed ADHD in women • Motherhood and executive functioning • Adoption, attachment, and nervous system regulation • Self-compassion after diagnosis • Hyperfocus and entrepreneurship • Supporting ADHD children while understanding yourself • Finding the "flecks of gold" in everyday life - Purchase Rachel's Flecks of Gold Journal  FREE ADHD MINI SESSION with Kamden  Timestamps: 00:00 Welcome to Busy Brained Saint 00:28 Free Coaching Mini Sessions 02:00 Meet Rachel from Three and 30 04:14 Rachel’s Late ADHD Diagnosis 07:56 Grace After Diagnosis 10:44 ADHD Humor and Family Traits 16:02 Adoption and ADHD Links 19:30 Newborn Separation and Nervous System 22:55 Holding Adoption’s Complexity 26:37 Beauty in the Mess 27:21 Mentors in Open Adoption 28:48 Honesty Builds Attachment 29:59 Family History Triggers 31:06 Dark Days of Motherhood 32:10 Troll Comment and Healing 34:52 Public Sharing with ADHD 41:44 Building an ADHD-Friendly Team 42:51 Hyperfocus Retreat Strategy 46:42 Flecks of Gold Practice 49:07 Closing and Where to Follow

    Putting Off the Natural Man with an ADHD Brain

    What if the thoughts and feelings taking over your mind aren't actually you? In this episode, Kamden digs into one of the most relatable struggles for people of faith with ADHD — the constant tug-of-war between the survival brain (natural man?) and the spirit — and why that battle feels so much louder when you have ADHD. Drawing from Mosiah 3:19, Galatians, Ephesians, and Romans, Kamden connects the gospel concept of "putting off the natural man" to the very real neuroscience of the limbic brain and prefrontal cortex — and why those two don't communicate as smoothly in an ADHD brain. You'll learn why your brain isn't broken — it's just wired for a world that no longer exists, and why the carnal state and the survival state might essentially be the same thing, how to start calming that part of yourself with compassion instead of judgment, and what it feels like when your spirit and your body finally start working together. This episode is for anyone who has ever felt trapped by their own thoughts, stuck in an old story, or just too overwhelmed to hear what God might be saying. You're not alone — and you have more choice than your brain is letting you believe.
