"Don't Mind Me, I Just Have ADHD!"

Episode 052: What does Christmas really mean—for people with ADHD, trauma, and tender hearts living in a loud, demanding world?In this powerful and reflective Christmas episode of Don’t Mind Me, I Just Have ADHD, Ron Souers returns to the original meaning of Christmas—not as a cultural holiday, but as a divine rescue mission.This episode explores why Jesus’ birth was first announced to shepherds—outsiders society dismissed—and why King Herod, clinging to control and power, rejected the same message in fear. Through the lens of ADHD, shame, trauma, and spiritual identity, Ron unpacks how the Christmas story speaks directly to those who feel disqualified, scattered, or unseen.You’ll discover:Why Jesus came for the misfits, not the polishedHow ADHD and trauma amplify shame—and how the gospel dismantles itWhy “mostly holy” was never the goalHow the enemy uses comparison, doubt, and half-truths to steal joyWhy Christmas proves your worth was never earned—it was declaredThis episode is an invitation to slow down, drop the mask, and receive the gift that was never about performance.Because Christmas isn’t about getting it together before God can show up.It’s about God meeting you while we were still a mess.This is Christmas—for the neurodivergent, the weary, the doubters, and the deeply loved.Other Great Ways to Connect with Me:Paws & Peace: A Calming Pet Coloring Book for Adults with ADHD👩‍🏫My website: www.youradhdguy.com📬 Subscribe & join The Kindness Circle!👩‍🦯Tik Tok @Ron.Solo1📻 Patreon Patreon.com/ronsouers📨Email [email protected]
