TRANSFORMATION with Julie Fogh: The gifts of introversion, ADHD, world travel, and TNT-ing your life

Casey chats with Julie Fogh (her Vital Voice Training co-founder) about lessons learned from studying acting all over the world, the gifts of introversion, and being a grown-ass woman. Along the way, they cover the superpowers of neurodivergence, and why sometimes, you just know you need to shake up the Etch-A-Sketch of your life.

 

TOP TAKEAWAYS

• Growing up in the Pacific Northwest gave Julie her particular brand of slow-burn humor, her deep appreciation for the negative space of conversation, and a community-building style that takes awhile, but truly lasts.
• Learning how her ADHD brain worked has led Julie to embrace the traits that used to be frustrating, and unlock her own unique superpowers of observation and idea-connecting.
• Thinking about making (or going through) a big life change? It’s ok to be “in the goo” for awhile — that’s when your life is becoming a work of art.
