In this episode of Work Is Rigged, we dive into the reality of navigating a professional world that often prioritizes rigid structures over human capacity.

We explore the essential shift from traditional time management to energy management, how to use pattern recognition as a tool for "data-mining" your own life, and why confidence—rather than a lack of capability—is the core hurdle that prevents so many neurodivergent professionals from finding sustainable work.

Our featured guest is Kaci Muecke, a former speech-language pathologist (SLP) and tech industry professional who turned her experience navigating burnout into a new mission. As the founder of Imperfectly Empowered, Kaci helps neurodivergent women navigate career pivots and unmasking.
