75. How does ADHD show up for women at work? | Career Questions
Episode description
ADHD in the workplace is often misunderstood—especially when it shows up in women. In this Career Questions episode, I’m joined by Katarina Stiles to explore how ADHD impacts work performance, communication, and career fulfillment in ways that are often missed or misdiagnosed.
Together, we unpack the unique challenges women face—from masking and perfectionism to burnout and time blindness—and how many traditional work systems unintentionally create friction for neurodivergent minds. We’ll share our personal experiences and insights and discuss professional strategies for creating more sustainable ways of working that honor the way your brain actually functions.
This conversation is for anyone who has ADHD, suspects they might, or supports someone who does. You’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of executive function, the real cost of internalized ableism, and tools to work with—not against—your brain.
