Embracing Creativity as a Neurodivergent Business Owner with Molly McCauley
What if your brain’s unique wiring isn’t a flaw… but your secret advantage? That’s exactly what we explore in my conversation with Molly McCauley. Molly’s neurodivergent diagnosis became the lens through which she redesigned her business, team, and teaching.
Growing up in a family of educators and artists, she used art and design to navigate a traditional education system that didn’t always support her learning needs. That same creativity eventually turned into a thriving photography and education business. Listen in as we discuss what it really looks like to build a successful business as a neurodivergent entrepreneur.
