FREE training here : https://programs.tracyotsuka.com/signup ___ In Episode #69 of ADHD for Smart Ass Women, Tracy introduces you to Sally Mouzon. Sally is a member of the acclaimed San Francisco Opera Chorus. She has appeared in numerous roles with the company, including Second Priestess in Iphigénie en Tauride, Second Bridesmaid in Le nozze di Figaro, Second Girl in Show Boat, and Second Orphan in Der Rosenkavalier. She has also created roles in three world premieres: La Popolana in Two Women, Joan in Heart of a Soldier, and Sister Lillianne in Dead Man Walking. In real life, Sally is an avid reader, union activist, baseball fan (Go Giants!), and single mother of a collegiate Shakespeare nerd. She is a dedicated alumna of the University of Virginia and now lives in the Bay Area. In this delightful interview, Sally shares how an article about time blindness resulted in her adult ADHD diagnosis, her ADHD symptoms which were present since childhood, her music-filled childhood, why structure was so important to her academic success, how she pivoted back into music and ultimately parlayed her love of music into an audition with the San Francisco Opera, how her degrees in African American Studies and Russian Literature help her to be a better opera singer, the ADHD traits that she feels are responsible for her professional success, the key to living successfully with ADHD, and her ADHD workarounds. ______________ Resources: Instagram: @sallymezzo Twitter: @sallymezzo Circa Levenger SmartPlanner Master Agenda - Weekly Jr Circa Starter Kit Send a Message: Your Name | Email | Message If this podcast helps you understand your ADHD brain, Shift helps you train it.
