The ADHD Sabbath Struggle

Isn’t the Sabbath supposed to be a day of rest? Then why does it sometimes feel so restless for an ADHD brain? In this episode, I dive into the struggle of slowing down, being still, and finding peace on a day that’s meant for renewal—but can often feel frustrating or even guilt-ridden when our brains won’t cooperate. I’ll explore why traditional ideas of “rest” don’t always work for ADHDers, common pitfalls (like overcommitting to spiritual goals or hyperfocusing on the wrong things), and how to create a Sabbath experience that actually feels soul-filling. Plus, I’ll share practical, ADHD-friendly ways to connect with God, engage spiritually without overwhelm, and make the Sabbath a day you actually look forward to. If you’ve ever felt like your Sabbath rest is more exhausting than restful, this episode is for you. Tune in and let’s reimagine what true renewal looks like for the busy-brained saint.   Utah Area LDS + ADHD Conference  1:1 Coaching Waitlist    Follow Kamden on Social Media @kamden_adhd @thebusybrainedsaint
