Summary
Episode 145 with Kay Rohloff.
“I can meet someone, hear their entire life story, and remember every single detail and still not be able to tell you their last name to save my life.”
Kay is a pastor who lives in southern Minnesota. She is also the co-host of Nerds at Church, a podcast about themes shared between the Bible and various areas of nerdery. Kay was diagnosed five years ago with ADHD, and she wrote an article for Sparkhouse about some of the ups and downs of life as an ADHD pastor and she is a moderator for a Facebook group for pastors with ADHD.
We talk all about some of the specific benefits and challenges of being a pastor with ADHD, including being held to a higher standard by their congregation. We also talk about how her diagnosis has helped her reframe her approach to her job and what support she seeks out from others, and how she’s helped several colleagues seek help and get diagnosed.

| 1:23.6 | host, Katie Weber. I was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 45, and it completely turned my world upside down. |
| 1:31.2 | I've been looking back at so much of my life, school, jobs, my relationships, all of it with this |
| 1:38.1 | new lens, and it has been nothing short of overwhelming. |
| 1:41.5 | I quickly discovered I was not the only woman to have this experience, |
| 1:45.0 | and now I interview other women who, like me, discovered in adulthood they have ADHD, |
| 1:50.3 | and are finally feeling like they understand who they are and how to best lean into their |
| 1:56.1 | strengths, both professionally and personally. Okay, before we get started, I'd love to share with you this review from a listener called |
