Carol Vincie is a trailblazing entrepreneur who started her first business at 16 and went on to break barriers during her 25 years at IBM. She later launched two successful businesses and helped secure $15M in funding during the Dot-com boom. Fueled by her undiagnosed ADD, Carol’s risk-taking, creativity, and vision have defined her journey—and now, she shares her story to inspire others to embrace their unique strengths. When most people think of ADD/ADHD, they picture a restless boy who can't sit still or pay attention. But for girls, the signs often go unnoticed. They're quiet, daydreamy, emotionally overwhelmed, and slip through the cracks. In fact, the sources used by medical professionals to diagnose ADD/ADHD were designed with boys under 12 in mind. Most women in the U.S. aren't diagnosed until around age 39. This plays havoc with a girl’s self-esteem and psyche. Teen girls in the US are engulfed in a wave of sadness, violence, depression and trauma, often leading to self-harm, even suicide, according to a report from the CDC. In Carol Vincie’s Your Amazing Itty Bitty™ Book: A Parent's Guide to Supporting Your Daughter's ADD/ADHD, you'll discover how to: Recognize the early signs of ADD/ADHD in girls and break free from cycles and misunderstandings about your daughter’s behavior Understand that your daughter’s symptoms are complex Help her build confidence and resilience in a world that may not understand her And so much more If you or anyone you know is interested in concise, illuminating insights into issues related to ADD/ADHD in young females, this is a must-read! ~ UK Neurodiversity Specialist WEBSITE https://add-adhdstrong.com/ BOOK https://www.amazon.ca/dp/1959964771 "The Vital Women of Washington Heights Living in Dutchess County" is brought to you by MHA of Dutchess County and Produced by CMJW Entertainment.

Jamie Thivierge is a Motivational Speaker and Counselor for women. Jamie received her credentials from Light University, and is the Co-Founder of Renewed Hope Counseling.

Jamie is a certified mental health coach, specializing in the emotional well-being of women.

Let's face it, we are all busy in life and need to take time for ourselves. Dedicating time to focus on your emotions, healing, relationships, self-value and general life issues is essential.

Jamie is passionate and "super" motivated to bring direction joy and truth to your life, and she guides with enthusiasm, inspiration, faith and humor.

"As a mental health coach, I have counseled many women who seem to struggle with their emotions.

As women, we tend to put ourselves on the back burner. We carry many titles, such as - partners, daughters, spouses, friend, parent, and caretaker. These titles can be overwhelming at times and make us feel out of control. We push many of these emotions down or aside, so we can be "superwoman." I created Emotional Beauty to encourage women to express and accept their emotions as a healthy part of their well-being. I want to be your personal motivator, encourage and inspire you to embrace your internal beauty and out of my own personal experiences let me help you become organically beautifully nourished.

Stay beautiful!"
