In this episode of the CAN You Even? podcast, Candisse McCormick sits down with Carissa Carleton, a trailblazer in the construction industry who is redefining success on her own terms. Diagnosed with autism and ADHD as an adult, Carissa shares how understanding her neurodivergence changed the way she navigates her career, relationships, and personal growth. She opens up about the challenges of being a woman in a male-dominated industry, the impact of burnout, and how she pivoted to create a business that truly aligns with her strengths and passions. From breaking free of traditional expectations to building a company alongside her husband, Carissa’s story is proof that you don’t have to fit the mold to thrive—you can break it entirely. Tune in for a raw and inspiring conversation about self-discovery, resilience, and embracing the path that works for you.
