02 Jun 2021
Tired of ADHD strategies that don’t work? Here’s what actually does. FREE training here: https://programs.tracyotsuka.com/signup___Today, Tracy welcomes Tiffany Jackson to the podcast. Tiffany shares her indefatigable childhood story of being abandoned by her mother, bouncing from one relative's home to another, and spending one perfect year at an elite boarding high school only to end up at a homeless shelter as a minor. Throughout all of this, Tiffany had a dream to make something out of her life. Since then, she’s graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Mass Communication from the Dan Rather School of Communications at Sam Houston State University, attended a year of law school where she received her ADHD diagnosis, and in 2018, she graduated from Texas A&M University’s College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences with a Master of Biomedical Science.Tiffany plans to attend medical school and work as a physician epidemiologist. She loves photography and car racing.Tiffany shares her thoughts on how grit, drive, and determination allowed her to keep going despite so many setbacks and challenges, how she sees her drivenness as hyperactivity, the circumstances surrounding her ADHD diagnosis, her childhood symptoms of ADHD, what happened once she was finally diagnosed, what she’s learned she needs to be successful and happy, what she thinks the key to living successfully with ADHD is, her workarounds, and how she discovered what she’s always meant to do with her life.______________Resources:Email: [email protected]: @Texas_SenatorSend a Message: Your Name | Email | Message If this podcast helps you understand your ADHD brain, Shift helps you train it.
