Host Kelsey Spronk, an ADHD mom and entrepreneur, explains why healthy boundaries are essential to self-advocacy and living into God’s calling. The episode breaks boundary-setting into five practical areas: your thoughts your words your actions (what you say yes and no to) who you listen to, and who you spend time with. Kelsey walks listeners through awareness exercises for difficult thought patterns (like comparison and catastrophizing), guidelines for who to be vulnerable with, and rules to protect your schedule and attention (sleep on yes, set timers, limit phone/social media use). She also encourages testing outside opinions against your values and faith, and protecting quality time with the people who matter. Overall, the episode offers simple, actionable steps to help you become the person God is calling you to be—by protecting your time, your heart, and your focus so you can grow in confidence and success with ADHD.
