Hey guys hey! If you’ve ever felt burned out, stuck in the wrong job, or like your ADHD brain just doesn’t "fit" into traditional career paths—you’re not alone. Today’s guest is Shell Mendelson, a powerhouse ADHD career coach with over 30 years of experience helping adults ditch the job-hopping, escape toxic work environments, and build careers that actually work for their brains—not against them.

In this episode, Shell breaks down:

  • 🔥 Why traditional jobs often lead to burnout for ADHD adults

  • ✋ The real problem with PIP (Performance Improvement Plans) and how to avoid them

  • 🧠 How to design a self-accommodation plan that empowers you—not punishes you

  • 💬 What to say in interviews to get the support you need

  • 🌱 How to finally find career clarity and stop second-guessing your path

This is your sign to stop settling and start designing a career that sparks joy and sustainability.
