Following my late ADHD diagnosis, I heard echoes, over and over again, of the good witch Glinda from The Wizard of Oz saying, “You’ve always had the power, my dear, you just had to learn it for yourself.”
when the screen shifts from black-and-white to technicolor. I had escaped.After being diagnosed with ADHD, I stopped saying yes to everything. I learned to pause and take a moment to consider what I really wanted. I gave myself permission to learn how my brain works, and now I know why I do what I do.
My work has always consisted of inspiring, connecting, and helping others. I spent a decade as a Weight Watchers group leader when my kids were little. When they were in grade school, I became the CEO and co-founder of The CUREchief Foundation, Inc., where I was responsible for hundreds of volunteers around the country.Now I don’t care about anything other than being myself.
