In this honest and eye-opening episode, Lindsey Maestas dives deep into the impact of ADHD on relationships and friendships. With vulnerability, faith, and research-backed insight, she explores why many people with ADHD subconsciously seek out chaos, conflict, toxic relationships, or emotionally unavailable partners. It isn't out of desire, but as a way of seeking out neurological stimulation.

Lindsey discusses how ADHD can intensely heighten feelings of rejection, create a cycle of emotional highs and lows in relationships, often leading to toxic dynamics, chronic arguing, and feelings of inadequacy or isolation.

She unpacks the difference between laziness and ADHD Paralysis, explaining the brain science behind task initiation struggles and why shame is often misdirected.

Whether you’ve been diagnosed with ADHD, have a partner or friend who struggles with it, or simply relate to the patterns of emotional burnout, impulsive decisions, or feeling like you're “too much” in relationships, this episode is a lifeline.

Lindsey encourages self-compassion and offers tangible insight to help you understand your brain, regulate your emotions, and build healthier, more stable connections without sacrificing your joy.

Do you ever find yourself losing your temper over small things, like shoes left out, bedtime battles, or your child’s refusal to shower, and wondering why patience feels so out of reach? Are you constantly torn between wanting to give your kids more freedom and feeling the need to control every little detail? In this episode of the The Living Easy Podcast, Lindsey Maestas shares her own journey of learning how to create autonomy in her children while practicing real, grace-filled patience with them and with herself.

Lindsey shares her own struggle with control, the urge to create rules where they may not be necessary, and how a desire for peace in her home led her to pursue emotional regulation, realistic expectations, and a rhythm over-reaction. She unpacks the idea that patience isn’t something we simply “have”, it’s something we build, moment by moment, with intentional choices and Christ-centered perspective.

If you’ve ever felt guilty for being a reactive parent or overwhelmed by your own high expectations, this episode will meet you with honesty and hope.

What if the voice you’re allowing to lead your life isn’t God’s, but the enemy's?

In today’s episode, Lindsey Maestas is diving deep into what it means to truly treasure God’s Word in our hearts and why Scripture memory isn't just a “nice” spiritual discipline, but a foundational key to fighting sin, strengthening our faith, and anchoring our identity in Christ.

She discusses how filling our minds with God's Word can silence the noise of culture that so often leads us away from His voice.

We’re not losing the battle against sin because we’re "bad Christians"; we’re losing because we’re unequipped. Today, I want to help equip you. Whether you’re struggling with temptation, feeling spiritually numb, or just craving a deeper relationship with Jesus, this conversation is a reminder that Scripture is formative.

If you’ve been letting the world shape your thoughts more than the Word, this episode is a gentle but honest invitation back to what matters most. We’re talking about spiritual warfare, practical Bible memory tips, and the everyday miracle of letting truth change your heart from the inside out.
