Brandi is also the mother of three.In 2016, while recovering from her second major hip reconstruction due to hip dysplasia, Brandi founded the Bucket List Adventure Company Ohio. Her focus was on bringing people together by encouraging them to step outside of their comfort zones and overcome their fears. Over the last few years, Brandi has jumped out of a plane, free-dived with sharks in the Atlantic Ocean, walked across fire, kayaked in alligator-infested waterways, ice climbed, rock climbed, and rappelled through some of the United States' most strenuous and iconic trails. No surprise—Brandi also has ADHD!Brandi shares: how she completed her Ph.D. in three years while working two part-time jobs and raising three children, the circumstances surrounding her ADHD diagnosis, symptoms she had always wondered about but now recognizes as clearly ADHD in hindsight, what has changed since her diagnosis, why she decided to start her travel company, why she founded the "Adventure Club," the knowledge she imparts to all of her students, what she believes is the key to living successfully with ADHD, her number one ADHD workaround, and her advice to a young woman just diagnosed with ADHD.______________Resources:Instagram: Send a Message: Your Name | Email | Message If this podcast helps you understand your ADHD brain, Shift helps you train it.
