Episode 67: Discovering Your Aligned and Purposeful ADHD Career with Shell Mendelson
Finding a fulfilling, sustainable and purposeful career after years of burnout, self-sabotage and confusion can be challenging. Yet with the awareness of our ADHD, tweaks to our working conditions, more clarity and lots of passion, a joyful and successful career is more than possible.
This week's podcast guest is Shell Mendelson, who has helped hundreds of ADHD adults and young adults over the past 35 years find a fulfilling and sustainable career direction. Shell says that her work is synonymous with joy, and she will likely never "retire", and her aim is to make that possible for everyone. And with ADHD, we must make a choice that reflects that joyful experience for most of our work day.
In today's ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, Kate and Shell talk about:
The difference between Life Mission and Life Purpose
Using our body to make choices
ADHD elements we need to make our working life enjoyable
Why career enjoyment is so crucial for ADHD
Knowing what you want and need to make you successful in your career
Creating ADHD-friendly conditions and cultures
Owning what we need
How your ADHD brain engages with work
Why career dreams and purpose matter
What it looks and feels like to be powerfully involved in your career
