• 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 she went from pursuing law to cosmetology to therapy, and her advice for other black women with ADHD.

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.
