  • Best Jobs for ADHD & Autism? The Real Answer Is Job Fit (AuDHD)
    Jan 12 2026

    Ever googled “best jobs for ADHD” or “best jobs for autism” — especially after a late diagnosis — and hoped someone would finally hand you the answer?

    In this episode, I’m going to give you the real answer: there isn’t one perfect job title for AuDHD (ADHD + autism). What actually matters is job fit — the match between your interests, your work environment needs, and the communication style you’ll have with your manager and team.

    You’ll learn:

    • How to use “the spark” of a special interest to find realistic career entry points

    • What environment factors to consider so you can thrive (not just survive)

    • Why manager communication and check-ins can make or break a role

    • Interview questions that help you spot green flags and red flags

    • How to answer: “What do you need to be successful in this role?” without disclosing

  • Neurodivergent-Affirming Care: The 5 Questions You Need
    Dec 7 2025

    Finding a neurodivergent-affirming provider shouldn’t feel impossible — but for many autistic and ADHD adults, the healthcare system can be invalidating, confusing, or even overwhelming. In this episode, I’m sharing five questions that will help you determine whether a doctor, therapist, or assessor is truly affirming, respectful, and informed.

    In this episode you’ll learn:

    • What “neurodivergent-affirming care” actually means

    • How to screen a provider during an intake call

    • Green flags and red flags to listen for

    • How to avoid being pathologized or dismissed

    • Why these questions reveal so much about a provider’s mindset

    You deserve care that sees you, respects you, and works with your neurotype — not against it.

  • How to Write Your Annual Review When You’re Neurodivergent
    Nov 30 2025

    Annual review season can feel overwhelming — especially if you’re ADHD, autistic, or otherwise neurodivergent. Memory gaps, freeze responses, stalled processing, panic, and the pressure to recall a whole year of work can make self-evaluations feel impossible.

    In this episode, I walk you through a neurodivergent-friendly, step-by-step process for writing your annual self-review — even if you didn’t track anything all year. This is the exact method I used during my 12+ years in leadership, and it’s the same process I taught my teams to help reduce overwhelm, increase clarity, and build confidence during annual review season.


    ou’ll learn how to do a brain dump that supports ND memory, how to use your calendar and colleagues to fill gaps, how to align your accomplishments with company OKRs and KPIs, and how to advocate for a raise, promotion, or new responsibilities using real evidence — all without masking or losing your authentic voice.

    Whether you’re aiming for growth, stability, or simply want to get through this process without melting down, this episode will help you approach your review with clarity and self-trust.

    • Why annual reviews trigger freeze mode for ND brains

    • How to start your self-review (even from zero)

    • Using your calendar to rebuild the year

    • Getting memory support from trusted colleagues

    • How to align your accomplishments to goals you forgot you set

    • How OKRs and KPIs actually matter in your review

    • Using AI tools without losing your authentic voice

    • How to make the case for raises, promotions, or new titles

    • What managers look for and how to prepare effectively

    • How to set realistic expectations to avoid RSD spirals

    • Why ongoing alignment with your manager is the secret to long-term growth
