In this wonderfully honest and engaging episode Jade hears from a passionate high school teacher. Grace was labelled “fussy,” “bossy,” and “too much” as a child. After a little nudge from a close friend, at 28, she was diagnosed with ADHD, and everything changed.
“Because of how people perceived me, that became my perception of myself.”
Grace shares her powerful story of shame, identity, and self-reclamation, how her high school drama teacher’s belief in her shifted her path in life.
“For so long, I truly believed I wasn’t smart. Now I know I’m capable of anything I put my mind to.”
She now hopes to be that person for as many students as she can reach. Grace is also writing a children’s book to help neurodivergent kids feel seen. A beautiful, bold conversation about redefining what it means to belong.
