Listen Later

Unlock the secrets to mastering your career and finances, especially if you have ADHD, with insights from our 35-year veteran ADHD career coach, Shell Mendelson. We kick off the episode with an exciting announcement of our new project aimed at helping ADHDers gain better control over their financial lives. Shell shares her invaluable wisdom, including her adapted version of the iconic "What Color Is Your Parachute?" framework, making it more visual and easier to grasp for ADHD minds. 

Ever felt like you're your own worst enemy when it comes to making positive choices? Discover the concept of the "safekeeping self" and learn how to break free from internal barriers that hold you back. Shell Mendelson and I have an engaging conversation about the pitfalls of impulsive decisions and the importance of financial planning. We discuss how acknowledging genuine personal interests can lead to long-term satisfaction, and why community support plays a crucial role in successful financial and career planning.

Navigating traditional work environments can be challenging for those with ADHD, but we’ve got you covered. We explore why self-accommodation plans are vital and how rigid corporate settings can stifle productivity. Highlighting real-life examples, we emphasize the importance of flexibility and understanding from employers. To cap it all off, we introduce Shell's book, "A Course for Adults and Teens: Unlock Your Career Path," as a must-have resource for gaining clarity and focus in your career journey. This episode is packed with actionable advice and inspiration tailored for anyone struggling with career and financial challenges while living with ADHD.
