Why do millennials job hop? Why do people with ADHD have a long career of all kinds of different roles and industries?

Are we really asking that, in this economy? This episode dives into the truths and myths about job hopping, career building, company loyalty (lol), and how to use a multi-faceted career history as a PRO and not a con when you're applying for jobs. Also, why I think a lot of AuDHD folks end up seeking entrepreneurship, because jobs suck.

Did you know it's easier to get a diagnosis and medication/treatment for ADHD and mental illness if you say it's affecting your ability to work? This is because our society places work and productivity over our humanity. Fun little life hack for you there.

On this episode I'm joined by Devan Robinson, who was burned all the way out at a toxic job that she thought was her dream job! After getting an ADHD diagnosis and treatment she was able to focus and work better, but realized that the toxicity went deeper than just her neurodivergent work troubles. Now Devan is a coach who works with women to work through what holds them back (little bit of patriarchy, for one example) through coaching and her annual summit, Elevate!

If you're in the Syracruse area you don't want to miss this absolutely jam packed summit event. Early bird pricing is a hell of a deal, especially if you split your ticket with a friend!

Did you know there's a confirmed overlap between the autistic neurotype and gender diversity? Yeah. Autistics are more likely to be trans or gender-nonconforming, and gender diverse folks are more likely to be autistic. Why? Because gender roles are made up and autistic people don't like arbitrary rules "just because it's the norm."

I recently traveled via airplane and flew Southwest using their Customer of Size policy. Basically you get an extra seat for free, and you can pre-board and reserve the extra seat so nobody squishes up against you and looks at you mean because you're fat the whole time. This policy is AWESOME. But I was really nervous since I had never used it before. What did I do to calm my fears? I asked for a script.

Scripting is something common to autistic folks -- we love an example of what to say when it comes to stuff we've never done before. And it's actually a LOT like practicing intentional thoughts and beliefs, using affirmations, etc. Listen in to blow your mind.

I mentioned a book in this episode, Writer for Hire: 101 Secrets to Freelance Success by Kelly James-Enger. (If the link isn't working: https://www.amazon.com/Writer-Hire-Secrets-Freelance-Success/dp/1599635496)

Building consistent habits that lubricate your day (shoutout to episode 73 with Mattia Mauree) is a lot like sticking quarters into the little game at the arcade that has a moving platform pushing a few quarters at a time into an abyss. As in, you don't see the payoff right away, but consistent action over time is how you eventually see a big change. Listen in to learn more because this one is a journey!

Hi. If you diagnosed yourself with autism via Tumblr posts and memes, you're not alone. And honestly, it's way easier to realize you're autistic and/or ADHD with the huge boom of neurodivergent media creators on TikTok these days. The worst part? Even if you know to your BONES that you are autistic, there are a ton of barriers to getting a formal diagnosis, and even downsides of having the diagnosis in your medical history. You know, like because of eugenics, which definitely doesn't happen right?
