    Do you ever leave a conversation wondering, “Why did that go so wrong?” 
    If you’re a woman with ADHD, those moments often have hidden patterns—and once you understand them, you can start changing them. 
    ADHD can affect every relationship in a woman's life - romantic, family, friends, colleagues, and even the relationship with herself. 
    From communication breakdowns to misunderstandings, from feeling disconnected to struggling with time and priorities, ADHD can show up in ways that strain the bonds we value most. 
    I know this because I've lived it. As a woman with ADHD, I've felt the frustration, guilt, and shame that can arise when symptoms get in the way of connection. But it doesn't have to stay that way. 
    That's why I created ADHD Women & Relationships - a compassionate, practical guide to understanding how ADHD impacts your connections and how to build stronger, healthier, more supportive relationships in every area of your life. 
    Inside, you'll discover how to: 
    *Communicate effectively with partners, family, friends, and colleagues - even when symptoms make it hard. 
    *Set healthy boundaries that protect your energy and strengthen mutual respect. 
    *Manage your time and priorities so you can be more present with the people who matter. 
    *Enhance intimacy and emotional connection in both romantic and platonic relationships. 
    *Build self-awareness and acceptance to release guilt, shame, and stigma. 
    *Navigate parenting with ADHD while fostering positive connections with your children. 
    *Create supportive environments that help you thrive in every relationship. 
    This isn't about becoming someone you're not - it's about embracing your ADHD traits, understanding how they affect your relationships, and using practical strategies to connect with others (and yourself) with more confidence, clarity, and compassion. 
    ✅Start creating the healthy, fulfilling relationships you deserve—ADHD and all.

    When fear takes hold, we can feel powerless and insipid. Life’s spiritual battles become too much, and the devil seems to be winning. It does not have to be like this, though! We can, and do, have victory in Christ. Faith in the all-powerful one means that we are strong in him, even when we feel weak.  Jonathan Stephen writes with clarity and compassion to help us understand how the battle against the enemy can truly be won. He uses one of the best known and most dramatic incidents in the Gospels, the stilling of the storm. As he draws our attention to what Jesus is teaching through this ‘faith-training exercise’, we join the disciples in discovering that when we are buffeted and frightened by the storms of life we can not only endure but overcome.

    Democracy - A Guided Tour

    In this short, accessible book, leading democratic theorist Jason Brennan guides listeners through the evolution of the concept of democracy and actual democratic practice over time to help them understand the foundations of this longstanding and yet newly fragile political system. 
     
     
     
    In his wide-ranging tour of the concept, Brennan will examine what democracy meant to the Greeks who first developed the concept before examining how it changed throughout European and later Western history. This will open up rich and perplexing questions. Over time, democracy shifted from being a fringe idea to the gold standard of political institutions: how did this change occur? How did the question of who counts as part of the ruling "people" change over time? As monarchies were replaced with democracies, what did theorists think the promises and perils of republican democracy were? How did actual democratic practice change the debates? What have we learned about how democracy functions—and in some cases, doesn't function—and what does this mean for future philosophical or empirical work? Brennan provides a curated, guided tour of the most important arguments for and against democracy, looking through the core values of stability, virtue, wisdom, freedom, and equality. The goal is to help listeners understand what is really at stake in democracy and its alternatives.
