ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In recognition of ADHD Awareness Month, National Disability Employment Awareness Month, and Mental Illness Awareness Week, Dr. Antija Allen and Justin T. Stewart sit down with IngerShaye Colzie, MSW, LSW, ADHD coach, licensed psychotherapist, public speaker, and founder of Alchemy Coaching and Counseling.
IngerShaye shares her experience as a late-diagnosed Black woman with ADHD and unpacks the exhaustion of masking, shame, rejection sensitivity, relationships, friendships, workplace expectations, and the pressure to make other people comfortable. Together, they explore what changes when we stop viewing ADHD only through deficits and start creating space for people to show up as themselves.
From work-life integration and dating to finding community with people who simply “get it,” this conversation asks an important question: What could life feel like if you didn’t need to work so hard to hide your authentic self?
