In this episode I’m sitting down with Kelsey Silver who is, a licensed family/ marriage counselor turned operations strategist. She is your resident expert in neurodivergence, and she helps entrepreneurs run their business in a way that works for their brain. This was such a fascinating conversation for me. I learned so much about different brain structures and how that affects day to day life. We chat about side hustles, and get to the heart of burnout in order to avoid it, and so much more. Kelsey is such a wonderful guest, one I immediately connected with over our mutual love for cats and anime. I think you guys are really going to enjoy listening to our conversation.
