Meet Sierra
You determine when your backstory ends and your quest begins.
Hello,
I am glad you are here.
I’d like to introduce myself.
My name is Sierra Grandy. I am a Speaker, Attorney, Advocate, and Adventurer.
As a way to make a difference in the world while having the freedom to accommodate my medical needs, I founded Questify Your Life LLC. I travel nationally speaking on neurodiversity, disability, and mental health topics.
This looks like keynotes, workshops, podcasts, breakout room sessions, corporate trainings, wellness week initiatives, police intervention trainings, and more. I have a message and information that I wholeheartedly believe more people could use in their lives.
I teach from a place of lived experience sharing my stories of growing up in and out of mental health hospitals, receiving electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) while still in high school, losing a year of my memory due to the ECT side effects, developing additional medical conditions, dropping out of college twice, and ultimately getting the support and skills necessary to start my mental health recovery journey.
As I journeyed more and more into the unknown of recovery I worked hard, had some luck, and some privileges on my side to go and finish my psychology degree, start public speaking on my story and education, go to law school, receive a late diagnosis of autism and ADHD, and ultimately become a licensed attorney.
In my advocacy and advisory work I volunteer in leadership roles with the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), the Minnesota State Advisory Council on Mental Health, and the Minnesota Disability Bar Association (MDisBA). And I am taking steps to find ProBono work that works with my strengths now that I am an attorney.
As an adventurer, I created Questify Your Life LLC—which I named my business after—a gamified self-care system that utilizes positive psychology principles to help others and myself navigate this world. Through this system, I can prioritize fun, joy, and play in my life by treating my life like a video game or a fantastical game of Dungeons and Dragons. This incentivizes creative ways to accommodate myself as a disabled and neurodivergent individual.
I am actively working on learning the skills to turn the Questify Your Life system into a variety of educational and motivational content, a 3-month journey development quest for others to join, and an in-person 4-part class in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Yet, I am still really at the beginning of this part of my journey as a full-time business owner who gets to follow what drives me towards purpose and enough profit to build a life that supports my quests.
Whether it’s about a project or because you’d like to talk about neurodiversity, disability, and/or mental health topics, please feel free to connect with me!
