Episode #134 Finding Calm with Brain Health – Julie F. Skolnick

June 18, 2025

In this compelling episode of the Create and Grow Your Brain Capital podcast, I sit down with Julie F. Rosenbaum Skolnick, M.A., J.D., Founder of With Understanding Comes Calm, LLC—a global leader in supporting and empowering the twice-exceptional (2e) community.

Julie shares:

  • Her deeply personal journey raising three 2e children
  • Why she created a strengths-based, empowering model for navigating giftedness and learning differences
  • How her work has grown to serve parents, educators, and 2e adults around the world
  • The inspiration behind her acclaimed book, Gifted and Distractible, and what’s next with her upcoming companion course

With a background in law and sociology, Julie brings a rare blend of insight, advocacy, and compassion to the conversation—along with actionable strategies for those who live with, teach, or are themselves 2e.

Her book, Gifted and Distractible, has sold nearly 18,000 copies and recently received the 2024 Best Book Award from American Book Fest.

If you're passionate about building brain capital, rethinking education, or unlocking human potential—this episode is for you.
