If there are gifted children, there are by default gifted adults. But a lot of them do not know. They are the so called “unidentified gifted adults”. Nicole shares her story how she, by pure chance, learned at age 36 that she is intellectually gifted. Her IQ is over 130 points and this brings it’s own sets of challenges. You might think of gifted adults as geniuses and math whizz but most gifted adults are none of those! Instead of having it easy at school, at work and in relationships, they face distinct road blocks. Nicole gives us a glimpse into what it was like growing up not knowing about her giftedness. She also shares her unique, but common, challenges and how her “diagnosis” changed her life. 

This episode was supposed to be the first of a series of empowered young women. But the conversation took an unexpected turn and it is now the first episode of a podcast targeted for (unidentified) gifted adults.
