S2 E17: BONUS - ADHD, Identity & Shame: Reclaiming Who You Are feat. Julie Norman
Podcast: Jesus and Your Mental HealthPublished On: Mon Mar 30 2026
Description: Rebecca Maxwell and her guest Julie Norman explore how ADHD’s dopamine-sensitive nervous system affects motivation and executive function, and how those challenges often become misread as laziness or moral failure. They introduce the "three C's"—capable, chaotic, critical—and explain how regulation and compassion protect identity from shame. If today’s conversation about ADHD, identity, and emotional regulation resonated with you, there are a few ways to go deeper. Julie has created a Task Initiation infographic that explains why starting tasks can feel so hard for ADHD brains—and what actually helps. You can also join Structure Without Shame, my upcoming course on emotional regulation and sustainable structure for real life, designed for both neurodivergent and neurotypical adults who want more calm and clarity in how they live and work. And if you simply need accountability to get things done, you’re welcome to join our free Friday Body Doubling / Parallel Play sessions at 9am Central for two focused Pomodoro work blocks.
