Is it possible to balance high-level strategy with the daily struggle of the "ADHD tax"? In this June recap, I’m getting real about the wins, the misses, and the reality of being a multihyphenate trying to stay consistent.

From launching the Robyn-Lee Talks podcast and my 90-day content reboot to the raw struggle of maintaining routines when focus is fickle, I’m sharing what worked, what didn't, and how I’m learning to lean into prayer when my productivity feels like a rollercoaster.

In this raw and honest episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on my May. This month was all about navigating the messy intersection of ministry, media, and real life. I’m sharing the decisions that shaped my mindset, how I’m returning to the core habits and rituals that keep me grounded, and the books and podcasts that became my lifeline when anxiety tried to pull me off course.

Whether you’re a church leader struggling with burnout or a creator trying to stay organized without losing your "why," this recap is for you.

In this episode, we explore:

• The journey of transitioning from digital strategist to minister-in-training.
• How I’m learning to reframe anxiety (the "scrape" vs. "bullet hole" mindset).
• The power of praying "With God" rather than just "for" or "from" God.
• Practical, non-negotiable rituals: Bullet journaling, scripture prayer, and tech-aided habits.
