Meet Danica Carson
We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Danica Carson a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Danica, we are so deeply grateful to you for opening up about your journey with mental health in the hops that it can help someone who might be going through something similar. Can you talk to us about your mental health journey and how you overcame or persisted despite any issues? For readers, please note this is not medical advice, we are not doctors, you should always consult professionals for advice and that this is merely one person sharing their story and experience.
This is actually a very important question as it relates to my business. I have struggled with ADHD for a long time. When I was a kid, people would chalk up my inability to complete things to my “artist’s spirit”. What people didn’t understand was that the clutter and inability to complete things were symptoms of ADHD rather than personality traits. The most frustrating part was that it made me feel completely overwhelmed and incapable nearly all the time.
