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.

Do you suffer from imposter syndrome? Have you been called „too much“, „too intense“ „too sensitive“? Do you just hate inequality? Do you have difficulties finding your career path because you are a multi potential person who has a 1000 ideas and 500 projects... all at the same time? Do you have a weird evolved sense of humour? Do you suffer from dyslexia but are fast at grasping new concepts? Do you have a hard time fitting in and sometime feel like a minority of one? 

Well you are not alone! This is why I am here. I felt the urge and need to have a place to collect all the interesting stories, concepts and ideas which inspired me over the last couple of years. But more importantly, I stumbled across a very interesting and surprising finding! It’s not a secret. But I can‘t name it, because THAT word might scare you off! 

If you relate remotely to anything I just mentioned then this show is for you! I would love for you to give it a listen. It might help you realise that what you‘ve always thought what is „wrong“ with you, is actually what is right with you! 

So together we will make your Mondays awesome and help you tackle the week, the month, the year and your life!
