Feeling Overwhelmed? You are not alone! If you have ADHD you may feel overwhelmed at times, perhaps more often than your neurotypical friends or family members. This feeling of overwhelm can show up as emotional reactivity, difficulty managing tasks and keeping track of time, and even a feeling of shutdown or mental paralysis. Sound familiar?

When you’ve spent your entire career chasing “focus,” it can feel like you’re constantly falling short. But what if the real goal for working professionals with ADHD isn’t perfect concentration at all? In this post, we’ll explore how redefining success beyond traditional notions of focus can unlock your potential, boost your confidence, and help you build a career that plays to your unique strengths.

With the right strategies and mindset shifts, thriving with ADHD at work is absolutely possible.
