Description

After grooming her own Shih Tzu during the pandemic and posting a picture online, Elly Linam started having neighbors reach out to her, asking if they could pay her to groom their dogs. One thing led to another, and within a month of that first neighbor asking, she knew there was a passion brewing and enrolled in grooming school.    Now, only a few short years later, Elly is a Certified Pet Groomer with her own dog grooming business and a career she’s endlessly passionate about–one that’s dynamic, creative, and perfect for her ADHD brain. Elly found her dream profession at 35 by putting herself out there and growing her spark of passion into a flame, but she’s been able to maintain that flame by supporting her ADHD needs and giving herself permission to do things differently.    Join our conversation to hear Elly’s ADHD entrepreneurship story, what changed once she got her official diagnosis, how she builds a balance of work, creativity, and rest into her daily routine, and much more.  Resources: Instagram: @ellywentwest; @elly.scissorhands Time Timer: https://www.timetimer.com/
