Join us for an enlightening and spirited conversation with Tracy Otsuka, author of the groundbreaking book "ADHD for Smart Ass Women: How to Fall in Love with Your Neurodivergent Brain."

In this interview, Tracy, a certified ADHD coach and host of the wildly popular podcast "ADHD for Smart Ass Women," delves into the misunderstood world of ADHD in women, challenging stereotypes and reshaping perceptions.

Tracy’s journey began with her own ADHD diagnosis, which came as a revelation after her son’s diagnosis.

Her book is not just a narrative; it's a powerful call to action, encouraging women to embrace their unique brains and turn what’s often labeled as weaknesses into undeniable strengths.

In our conversation, we'll explore how Tracy’s strengths-based approach empowers women to harness their creativity, empathy, and entrepreneurial spirit. We'll also dive into the scientific aspects of ADHD, debunking myths and highlighting the importance of a neurodiversity perspective.

Prepare to be inspired and challenged as Tracy Otsuka shares her expertise, stories, and the transformative message of her book. Whether you’re directly impacted by ADHD or simply curious about the neurodiverse brain, this interview promises to be an eye-opener, offering a new lens to view ADHD and its place in the tapestry of human diversity.
