Detailed show notes:
In today’s episode, I have the pleasure of speaking with a therapist and fellow ADHD coach Inger Shaye Colzie. Among other things, we talked about:
IngerShaye’s late-in-life diagnosis - how it was a relief, and why she thinks that it was advantageous to be diagnosed later in life.
The type of environment that she grew up in, and how it was a catalyst for her success despite her undiagnosed ADHD.
How she went from pursuing law to cosmetology to massage therapist to therapist (amazing, I know!).
Her advice for other black women with ADHD - managing priorities, expectations, and mental bandwidth.
