If you are an adult with ADHD, and you are either feeling burned out or have decided that your career is no longer serving you, this is the podcast episode for you. Grab a notebook and a pen because we have one of the most well-known experts in the field of ADHD careers today.

Shell Mendelson is the Author of Unlock Your Career Path. This book is specifically crafted for neurodivergent adults and even teens who need to explore new careers or make a change. Shell also hosts programs to guide those with ADHD to their next career or job.

Shell and Dave discuss some of the major factors that finally cause adults with ADHD to decide they need a new job or even a completely new career.

They also discuss that when a job or career becomes not a good fit, it's not always our fault and we need to understand this. There are many external factors that make a career unmanageable for adults with ADHD.

Some adults may also let a career decision go far too long, for example when someone is feeling burned out and they put off making a tough decision.

Shell talks about strategies to make our existing job and/or career manageable while we do the necessary work to identify and secure a new role. Some of us may not be able to leave our job in the short term and we'll need to make our current situation work.

Shell runs one of the only ADHD specific career workshops and she walks us through what people will take away from joining her workshop.
