ADHD, Perfectionism & Faith: Why You Feel Exhausted Trying to “Get It Right” with God | 030
Have you ever wondered whether you're lazy, undisciplined, or simply failing at follow-through... only to discover there may be a completely different explanation?
In this episode, Leneé sits down with ADHD coach Cassy Miller to explore the often-overlooked connection between ADHD, perfectionism, and the Christian faith.

If you've ever felt exhausted trying to "get it right" with God, this conversation offers practical insight, biblical encouragement, and hope that you're not broken—you may simply be learning how God uniquely created you.
