<p>I’m yet to meet an ADHDer who isn’t deeply affected by meaningless work. </p><p>When there’s no meaning, it can feel like trying to run on empty you’re pushing, pushing, pushing… and then wondering why you’re burnt out and blaming yourself for it.</p><p>This week I am back with everyone’s favourite neuroscientist and mental health expert, Dr Miguel, to untangle ADHD in the workplace, purpose, meaning, job hopping, and why quitting is not a character flaw. </p><p><strong>Together we untangle:</strong></p><p>🧠 Why 9-5 can feel genuinely soul destroying for an ADHD brain, from masking to boredom to open-plan overload</p><p>⏰ ADHD time, “BBC clock” culture, and why being ten seconds late can trigger a full body stress response</p><p>🌙 Chronotypes, delayed melatonin, and why so many ADHDers get a second wind later in the day</p><p>🔥 Hyperfocus productivity, burnout, and the truth about “inconsistency” when you are actually running on nervous system fumes</p><p>🧩 ADHD and autism together, how they can clash, how they can support each other, and what it can look like to build a work life with more space</p><p><strong>Why listen?</strong></p><p>If work has left you carrying that deep, sticky shame… this one’s for you.</p><p>Maybe your CV looks like job hop after job hop, and you’ve been labelled a “jack of all trades” because you can’t seem to settle.</p><p>Maybe you’ve started things, stopped things, restarted… and blamed yourself every time.</p><p>Or you’re constantly caught up in workplace drama, politics, misunderstandings… and it always somehow ends with you feeling like the problem.</p><p>Over time it’s so easy to start believing the story:</p><p>I’m lazy. I’m inconsistent. I’m too much. I’m not built for adulthood.</p><p>But this episode is here to pull that story apart.</p><p>To de-shame the patterns.</p><p>And to help you see what’s actually going on when an ADHD brain is trying to survive inside systems that don’t fit.</p><p>Because you’re not broken.</p><p>You just need a way of working that works with your brain… and feels meaningful to you.</p><p><strong>Want to dive deeper?</strong></p><p>🧡 Join the free Untangled Community → <a href="https://chat.whatsapp.com/IDapTLhfuvy8KzYfZ8rhYP" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">click here</a></p><p>🎓 ADHD Coach Training →<a href="https://drmiguel-rosie.untangledco.com/adhd" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"> click here</a></p><p>🧘 Retreats → <a href="https://untangledco.com/retreats" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">click here</a></p><p>✨ Follow us → <a href="https://untangledco.com/retreats" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">@adhd_untangled</a></p><p> 🧠 Follow Dr Miguel → <a href="https://www.instagram.com/drmiguelmateas/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">@drmiguelmateas</a></p>
