35m · Published[Replay] Executive Function Life Hacks and Spirituality for Neurodivergent Folks with Rev. Catharine Clarenbach
51m · PublishedI’m honored to be joined on this week’s episode by Reverend Catharine Clarenbach.
Rev. Catharine is a white, fat, cis woman, a sovereign queer femme with ADHD, bipolar disorder, well-managed mental illness, and trauma from sexual assault.
She is also an ordained Unitarian Universalist minister and an Initiate in the Tradition of Stone Circle Wicca (USA). She spent four years in discernment with an order of Roman Catholic religious sisters, and is trained and credentialed as a spiritual director.
In this interview, we’re talking about creating safe spiritual and religious spaces for autistic, ADHD, and other neurodivergent folks; our favorite house cleaning hacks for folks with executive dysfunction like us; and, how to keep a fruitful, fulfilling relationship with a partner who is a different neurotype than you.
Thank you to my patrons!

After this episode, when you hear someone say ADHD, you’ll have some idea of the historical and cultural context behind it, and you’ll know why some people think ADHD is just the result of us “not trying hard enough.”

21m · PublishedWhy is ADHD still so heavily stigmatized in our culture, when it's one of the most well-understood neurodivergences out there? We need to dig into the history of ADHD to understand where this stigma comes from and how to fight against it in our day-to-day lives.
In today’s episode, we’re covering:
- Theophrastus’ “Obtuse Man,” an ancient example of a person with ADHD traits
- the medieval tie between spiritual health and mental health
- Sir Alexander Crichton’s work, which changed the course of neurodivergent history at the very turn of the 19th century
