Ep 10 The Hidden Spiritual Struggle of Women with ADHD

For years, I thought something was spiritually wrong with me. I struggled to stay present in church. I reread the same scriptures over and over. My prayers felt scattered, repetitive, and unfinished. And sometimes, church felt so overwhelming that I would quietly sneak out early just to sit in silence. In this episode of The Quiet Companion, I’m sharing how ADHD affected my spiritual life as a woman — and the shame I quietly carried because of it. We’ll talk about: • ADHD and overstimulation in church • Why prayer can feel difficult with an ADHD mind • Scripture reading and attention struggles • Spiritual shame and masking • Gentle ways to reconnect with God without pressure If you’ve ever loved God deeply while secretly feeling like you were failing spiritually, this episode is for you. Scripture referenced: Romans 8:26 KJV If this episode made you feel less alone, I would love for you to follow the podcast and leave a kind rating or review. It truly helps more women quietly struggling with ADHD, overwhelm, and faith find this space. And if someone came to your mind while listening, maybe share this episode with her.
