Oscar Rivera welcomes Teresa Violette, Training Director at the CatholicPsych Institute, for an honest and hope-filled conversation about living with ADHD through a Catholic lens. Teresa shares her story of being diagnosed as an adult and reflects on the misconceptions around ADHD—why it’s more than just “not paying attention,” and how even the name might need a rethink. Together, they discuss the challenges of executive functioning, the struggle to stay focused in prayer, and the beauty of seeing one’s unique wiring as a gift from God. Discover how God works powerfully in our scattered moments and uses even our imperfect focus to draw us closer to him.
