How To Find Work That actually WORKS For Your ADHD Brain

Ever feel like traditional jobs just don’t “click” for you? Like you’re forcing yourself into a mold that doesn’t fit? If you’re living with ADHD, it’s not all in your head. (You are not alone!) The typical 9-to-5 structure may clash with how ADHD brains work best—and it’s time we talk about it.

In the latest episode of the The More Than ADHD™ Podcast, I open up about my own struggles in traditional work environments and share practical steps for creating ADHD-friendly careers that actually align with your strengths and passions. Whether you are an ADHD job-hunter or a business leader striving for Neuroinclusion, this episode is packed with insights you don’t want to miss!

🏋️ Why Traditional Work Doesn’t Always Work for those with ADHD

  • Overwhelmed? Traditional jobs may leave ADHD individuals feeling exhausted and unmotivated. 🥵
  • 9-to-5 isn’t for everyone. Strict schedules and rigid routines may stifle creativity and productivity. 👎
  • Passion vs. Paycheck. Just because you’re passionate about something doesn’t mean it’ll pay the bills—but the right environment can make all the difference! ❤️‍🔥

🌱 How to Create ADHD-Friendly Workspaces

  • Know Your Strengths. Self-awareness is the foundation for finding work that feels meaningful and manageable. 💪
  • Seek Supportive Environments. Look for workplaces that value neurodiversity and flexibility. 🤝
  • Feedback = Fuel. Regular recognition and feedback keep motivation high. 🔋
  • Chase Purpose. Work that aligns with your purpose feels more impactful and fulfilling. 😇

👥 ADHD Advice for Business Leaders

  • Embrace inclusivity by understanding the diverse needs of neurodivergent employees.
  • Create flexible roles that allow for autonomy and creativity.
  • Build a culture of recognition where feedback is frequent and positive.

    🌟 Remember…

Your value isn’t defined by your job title or performance. You deserve work that feels empowering, not exhausting.
