    Episode 215-The Quiet Chaos Behind the Facade: ADHD, Shame, and Leading with Grace with Jennifer McFarland

    In this episode of the Vibrant Living Podcast, I welcome Jennifer McFarland, ADHD advocate, TFT Tapping practitioner, and founder of Monarch Dawn. Jennifer works with women who discover their ADHD diagnosis in adulthood, after years of shame, relentless anxiety, and the exhausting work of holding it all together on the outside while everything feels chaotic within. This conversation names what so many women have carried but never had language for. Jennifer explains why ADHD in women is so frequently missed, how it shows up as internalized anxiety rather than visible behavior, and why the shame around it runs so deep. She shares what it looks like to stop fighting the way your brain is wired and begin working with it instead, from a posture of grace rather than pressure. I close with a word that lands: relief is information. If this conversation made you breathe, do not rush past that. Awareness is the beginning of wisdom. And wisdom is where change begins. Resources Mentioned Dr. Russell Barkley YouTube channel — long-term ADHD expert and researcher Up-to-date, fact-based information on ADHD How to ADHD by Jessica McCabe YouTube channel — practical tips, compassionate education, and the why behind the struggle Meet Jennifer Jennifer McFarland is an author, speaker, ADHD advocate, and TFT Tapping practitioner.

    Episode 214- Urgency Is Not Discernment: How to Make Kingdom Decisions Under Pressure

    Most leaders have been there. An opportunity shows up, pressure builds, and everything around you says: move now. In this episode, I name what that feeling actually is and why it matters where it is coming from. Urgency and discernment are not the same thing. KPI culture has conditioned leaders to treat speed as wisdom and decisiveness as strength. But Kingdom Spiritual Intelligence asks a completely different question: not how fast you decide, but where you are sourcing your decision from. This is the third episode in the KSI series. Video 1 explored your source. Video 2 examined your measurement. Now, all of it converges in the most practical question of all: how do you actually make decisions from that place?

    Episode 213-Even the Ashes Bloom: A Conversation with Sarah S. Brown on Healing, Identity, and Becoming

    There are moments in life that don’t just hurt… They redefine everything. The kind of moments where what you believed about your life, your future, even your identity… suddenly no longer fits. In this episode of the Vibrant Living Podcast, I sit down with Sarah S. Brown for a conversation that moves gently, but deeply, through heartbreak, healing, and the journey of becoming. Sarah shares her personal story of walking through betrayal and the collapse of her first marriage… a season that left her standing in what felt like ashes. But what unfolds from that place is not destruction. It’s transformation. What This Conversation Opens Up: This isn’t about fixing your life. It’s about recognizing what God is forming within it. Together we explore: • What it feels like when your identity is shaken at the core • The difference between striving for God and surrendering to Him • How healing happens in layers, not moments • Seeing God’s presence even in the hardest chapters • Letting go of expectations and trusting what God is rebuilding • The truth that you are not broken… You are becoming   A Moment That Stays With You Sarah shares this powerful realization: She expected revisiting her past pain to reopen wounds… But instead, she saw something different. God was there in every moment. Not absent. Not distant. Present. Even in the ashes. About Sarah: Sarah S. Brown is a Christian author and speaker who helps women navigate seasons of deep hurt by anchoring their identity in Christ. Her book Even the Ashes Bloom is a faith-filled invitation into healing, renewal, and rediscovering hope after heartbreak.  Website: sarahsbrown.com Instagram: @authorsarahsbrown Connect with Donna: https://www.ivibrantliving.com

    Episode 212-Why You Feel Like You’re Failing (But You’re Measuring the Wrong Thing)

    You know that spiral. The launch didn’t land. The numbers weren’t what you hoped. And somewhere in the middle of the questioning comes the sentence that sounds spiritual:“I guess I’ll just trust God’s timing. But if we’re honest… Sometimes that’s genuine surrender. And sometimes it’s resignation with a Bible verse attached. In this episode, we’re talking about the difference. Because what if the problem isn’t you… But how have you been measuring? There’s a different lens available to you. I’m introducing you to Kingdom Spiritual Intelligence (KSI), and how it completely reshapes the way you interpret results, faithfulness, and forward movement in your life and leadership.  In this episode, you’ll discover: Why KPI (Key Performance Indicators) only tells part of the storyWhat Kingdom Spiritual Intelligence reveals that KPI never canWhy the unseen always precedes the seenHow to stop spiraling when results don’t show upHow to realign with what Heaven is actually saying about your life  Write this somewhere you’ll see it: We win, even when it may not look like it yet. That’s not wishful thinking. That’s not denial.

    Episode 211-Nothing Like Your Own Pillow-Come Home to His Love

    There’s a difference between visiting… and living somewhere. You can be welcomed, comfortable, even at peace for a moment… and still feel that subtle sense that you don’t belong there. And then there’s home. In this episode, I share a quiet but honest question: Where do you actually live with God? Jesus didn’t invite us to visit His love. He invited us to make our home there. Not occasionally. Not when things feel hard. Not just to be filled up so we can go back to carrying everything on our own.To live there. If you’ve been feeling tired, this isn’t a call to try harder. It may be an invitation to stop leaving. No pressure. Just a return. If you feel that pull to go deeper, I am hosting Fortified on May 16. A gathering for those ready to stop visiting and start inhabiting. Find out more information and get your seat right here: https://vibrantliving-fortified.carrd.co/

    Episode 209 -Legacy vs Inheritance: The 12 Person Revolution That Changes Everything

    Legacy is often confused with inheritance, but the two are very different. Inheritance is something you leave TO people. Legacy is what you leave IN them. In this episode, I explore the deeper question many leaders never stop to ask. What are people carrying differently because they encountered you? Most of us are living by a scoreboard we never consciously agreed to. It quietly asks questions like, Did I do enough? Did I accomplish enough? Did today matter? But Jesus modeled a completely different operating system. Instead of building a platform or scaling a system, He invested deeply in twelve people and left something powerful inside them, identity, authority, and a new way of seeing God and themselves. I introduce the concept of Kingdom Spiritual Intelligence and explain how shifting your focus from performance to alignment changes the way you lead, influence, and build what lasts. If you are leading in your family, business, ministry, or community and wondering how to create impact that multiplies beyond your lifetime, this conversation will challenge how you think about legacy. In this episode you will discover • The difference between inheritance and legacy • Why Jesus invested deeply in twelve people • The invisible scoreboard most people live by • How Kingdom Spiritual Intelligence transforms leadership • The legacy question every leader eventually faces Resources mentioned Free Kingdom Spiritual Intelligence Starter Kit https://vibrant-living.myflodesk.com/starterkit Wisdom Consultation with Donna https://tidycal.com/ivibrantliving/connection-call Learn more about Vibrant Living International https://www.ivibrantliving.com/

    Episode 208-AI Without the Fear: How Curiosity Unlocks Powerful New Tools with Kimberly Inez May

    AI Isn’t Smarter Than You. It Just Has More Information. Artificial intelligence is suddenly everywhere. For some people, that feels exciting. For others, it feels overwhelming. In this conversation, I sit down with AI educator and consultant Kimberly Inez Mays to talk about AI in a way that is practical, calm, and easy to understand. Kimberly has spent decades working in technology and operations, and today she helps organizations, creators, and entrepreneurs understand how to use artificial intelligence in ways that are clear and useful, not complicated or intimidating. Together we explore how curiosity is often the best starting point when learning something new. Instead of trying to master AI immediately, Kimberly encourages people to begin with simple, everyday uses and allow their confidence to grow over time. From meal planning and travel itineraries to research and creative work, AI tools can become powerful assistants when we learn how to engage with them wisely. I also share some of the ways she has personally experimented with AI in her own work and life, including using it for planning, writing, and exploring new ideas. This episode offers a grounded and thoughtful perspective on technology, reminding us that the goal is not to fear new tools, but to learn how to steward them well. In This Episode • Why AI suddenly feels like it is everywhere • The difference between healthy caution and fear around technology • Simple ways to start using AI tools like ChatGPT • Why curiosity is the fastest way to learn something new • Creative and practical uses for AI in everyday life • Tools Kimberly recommends exploring, including NotebookLM and Perplexity • How learning AI can empower people instead of intimidating them About Kimberly Inez Mays Kimberly Inez Mays is an AI educator, speaker, and consultant who helps organizations understand and apply artificial intelligence in clear, practical ways. With more than two decades of experience in technology and operations, she specializes in translating complex AI concepts into frameworks that teams and individuals can actually use.
