Is Your Job Burning You Out or Just Built Wrong for ADHD?


Listen Later

Burnout isn’t always a personal failure—it’s often a mismatch between your brain and your work environment.

Skye and in-house researcher Taylor break down three eye-opening studies that explain why ADHD brains struggle in traditional workplaces—and what actually works better. Spoiler: the research also found ADHD might be a secret strength for entrepreneurs.

This episode covers:

  • The top causes of ADHD-related burnout (backed by science)
  • Practical changes workplaces can make (and how to ask for them)
  • Why leadership built on neuroscience could be the future of work
  • How impulsive ADHD traits actually boost business performance

This is the conversation you wish your HR team had already heard.
