<p><strong>About This Episode</strong></p><p>Nicole R. Ferrera has spent more than two decades at the intersection of media, advertising, and technology — and she has seen this industry from nearly every angle. She started as a media buyer at the major holding companies (WPP, IPG,Omnicom), moved to the publisher side at Viacom, helping offset linear television decline through digital revenue, and then worked in ad tech building solutions that work for both buyers and sellers.</p><p>But Nicole's story doesn't live only inside the professional world. In this conversation, she opens up about a life-altering accident in college, a burnout that brought her to a breaking point during the pandemic, a late ADHD diagnosis that reframed decades of her life, a cross-country move from New York City toColorado — and the businesses she has built since, on her own terms and her own values.</p><p>In this episode:<strong>Nicole's </strong>Early path</p><p>The accident that changed her life</p><p>The grad school of media </p><p>Buyer-seller-builder</p><p>Ethics in the start-up world</p><p>Burnout big time</p><p>Move from NYC to Colorado</p><p>Her ADHD diagnosis</p><p>The Superwoman Society and ADHD Aligned</p><p>On being a mom first</p><p>What's next?</p><p><br /></p><p><strong>Resources &amp; Links Mentioned</strong></p><ul><li><strong>ADHDAligned.com</strong> — Nicole's new research-backed platform for women navigating ADHD at work and at home <em>(launching soon)</em></li><li><strong>Superwoman Society</strong> — Nicole's global mentorship network for women with ADHD; join as a mentor or mentee</li><li><strong>NRFMedia.com</strong> — Nicole's media and advertising consultancy</li><li><strong>CureSearch for Children's Cancer</strong> — <a href="https://curesearch.org/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">curesearch.org</a> — funding the bridge between early-stage and late-stage pediatric cancer research</li><li><strong>Innovation Women</strong> — Speaker network <a href="https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=96435&amp;awinaffid=2281255&amp;ued=https%3A%2F%2Finnovationwomen.com%2Fjoin%2F" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=96435&amp;awinaffid=2281255&amp;ued=https%3A%2F%2Finnovationwomen.com%2Fjoin%2F</a></li></ul><ul><li><strong>ADDCA</strong> — The ADD Coach Academy, where Nicole completed her ADHD coaching training</li></ul><p><strong>About This Kaleidoscope Career</strong></p><p>Hosted by Helen Jonsen, jour
