Things That Led My Path To Entrepreneurship

When my twins were babies, my husband hesitated to leave me alone with them. Although I didn't struggle with postpartum depression or anxiety, my mental health history fueled worries about potential issues. I had never endangered my children, but the overwhelming nature of those early days often immobilized me. My husband's concerns were valid, considering the demands of returning to work. Subsequently, I discovered insights from "What Happened to You?" by Dr. Bruce D. Perry and Oprah Winfrey, which helped me understand that early trauma influences our physiological responses. Being orphaned as an infant likely conditioned me to dissociate as a coping mechanism. This insight has shaped my self-awareness journey as an adoptee. Diagnosed with multiple disabilities in adulthood, I now serve as a nonprofit consultant, championing equity for marginalized identities. My experiences underline the importance of embracing neurodivergent perspectives in workplace dynamics, highlighting how tailored support can facilitate entrepreneurship for disabled individuals, thereby benefiting society as a whole.
