On this week's podcast we welcome Jo Clancy.  Discovering her neurodiversity with a diagnosis of ADHD at 30 years old, Jo shares her experience of life before and after a diagnosis.  Sharing about her many side quests, like Photography, post-carding, traveling, giving ultrasounds in Africa, and so much more!  Below is a statement from Jo... I have had a broad background of careers and interests (ADHD for the win!), working in the Insurance industry, restaurant (front of the house and back), animal industry (ranch manager, horse trainer, zookeeper, exotic animal vet tech), and currently ultrasound. I originally went to college for graphic design and still get a lot of joy from artistic hobbies (photography especially), and later went to veterinary school, with a focus in exotics and wildlife. I used to scuba, rock climb, trail run, ride horses, and now ride a motorcycle, garden, knit, travel and make postcards from my photographs, which I send all over the world in a group called Post crossing. I have volunteered in some capacity for most of my life, giving my mom credit for that passion. I worked as a volunteer for therapeutic riding programs, wildlife rehabilitation, sea turtle conservation, raising money for scholarships at the MSU Wine Festival, and many more. Looking back at this I can see why I drove my somewhat conventional parents mad!

This weeks episode begins our emPOWRD journey!I have been listen, learning and humaning for a while now and just like you life has thrown me a few curve balls. The way I have responded has been to understand how to stay resilient, how to care for myself, so I can then show up fully for the people and situations in my life.

My tag line has become, "it's a hard and beautiful life"- that's just the truth of it. So here is the beginning of me sharing some of the tools I use to figure out to ride the waves of this human life, which has ultimately led me to living a more authentic aligned life.. I call this my toolkit . This has turned into a "program" I offer to others so you can build your own toolkit and live your most beautiful, hard precious life.
