"What am I doing with my life?" This is a question I found myself asking numerous times. I've floated from job to job and never felt like I've found my calling. This led to feeling guilt and shame around not doing things the "traditional way". Is this you too? In this episode, I discuss a common journey us, ADHDers, experience-- job hopping and career pivoting.

I also share neurodivergent / ADHD friendly practical strategies (that I am trying) to empower you to build on your past experiences and skills rather than start over.

This episode's Rocking Chair Wisdom

• 1. You’re not starting over—you’re starting forward.

• 2. Every pivot you’ve made is part of your unique skill stack.

• 3. Use a “bridge plan” to carry past experiences into new ventures.

• 4. Your story makes you powerful, not messy.

• 5. Archive old work. Celebrate the pieces of you that endure.
