In this episode, Madeline sits down with Kelly George, a black Latinx queer bipolar neurodivergent, founder and CEO of Real Resilience Coaching and Consulting, and a pioneering coach in neurodivergence and mental health. They discuss the importance of empowering neurodivergent leaders to create business models that align with their strengths and advocate for their needs. George shares her journey from growing up in Brooklyn with Caribbean parents, through her challenges and experiences of neurodivergence during her education and early career, to founding her coaching business focused on inclusivity for neurodivergent individuals. The conversation also covers the impact of neurodivergence on mental health, the workplace, and how businesses are evolving to become more inclusive. Additionally, Kelly highlights her contribution to the anthology 'Our Stories Belong in History' and her plans for future initiatives to support the neurodivergent community.
