#4. getting fired was my wake-up call: how ADHD and burnout helped me discover the power of workplace accommodations

  • Summary

  • In this week’s episode, I decided to be a bit vulnerable and talk about a tough chapter in my career – the times I got fired (yep, more than once 😅). I share how not knowing I had ADHD played a huge role in my burnout and struggles at work. I talk about finally breaking free from retail and landing my dream job, only to be gut punched with the question: “Is this really the right job for you?” (Spoiler alert: it wasn’t, and it left me questioning everything about myself and how I work.)
    Here's the thing – so many of us are square pegs trying to squeeze into round holes. Our beautifully unique, neurodivergent brains just don't fit neatly into the cookie-cutter systems of most workplaces. And let me tell you, it's exhausting trying to keep up that mask all day, every day.
    So, if you've ever found yourself ugly-crying in the office bathroom (no judgment here, been there, done that, got the t-shirt), or if you've ever felt like you're one missed deadline away from a total meltdown, this episode is for you. We're going to talk all about the messy, the awkward, and yes, even the funny side of trying to find our place in the working world.
    Ready to laugh, maybe cry a little, and most importantly, feel less alone in this wild ride we call a career? Then stick around, because we're about to get real, get vulnerable, and maybe, just maybe, figure out how to thrive without burning out. 💖
