Join Tracy as she welcomes guest Isabelle Baker to Episode 92 of her podcast ADHD for Smart Ass Women. Tracy interviewed Isabelle as one of four students who completed her Your ADHD Brain is A-OK! program. That episode aired last week but Tracy didn’t include Isabelle because she felt that Isabelle needed her own episode. In this episode Isabelle talks about trauma, never fitting in, giving up, thinking it was too late for her because she was too old. She also talks about AOK and ultimately falling in love with her ADHD brain. Isabelle Baker is from Lakeland, FL. With over 25 years of business development, C-suite partnerships, and enterprise training; Isabelle is now her own CEO. Today she combines her professional experiences along with her love of problem solving, listening to understand, and relentlessness, to serve her clients whom she loves to see succeed. Some of her best successes are personal though: she is passionate about helping children in the foster care system and looks forward to being a coach to those who age out. Isabelle shares: Her childhood trauma Her struggle with school Her struggle with social problems and always feeling different Her discovery of ADHD Her experience going through the A-OK! Program Her new found love and appreciation of her ADHD gifts The key to living successfully with a non-linear brain Her number one workaround Resources: Sign up for Your ADHD Brain is A-OK!
