Hey, Reader-
So here's something I'm noticing lately...
Women with ADHD who did all the "right" things - you know, took the practical job, climbed the ladder, put creative dreams on hold - are suddenly in the exact situation they were trying to avoid: professional uncertainty.
I'm seeing brilliant professionals who traded passion for stability now facing surprise layoffs, increasing workloads, and the sudden realization that the "safe bet" wasn't actually safe.
What's even worse? That stability they sacrificed everything for has vanished—but the soul-draining work environment remains.
Too Many Options, Too Little Clarity
Today marks the launch of my Career Reset group program, where we're tackling a challenge I see constantly with ADHD women: feeling overwhelmed by possibilities yet unable to commit to any of them.
The problem isn't a lack of ideas, it's having an effective way to evaluate them that works with your brain, not against it.
Your one small step
While our group dives deeper today, here's one question you can explore right now:
Instead of asking "What should my next career be?" try asking this:
"What problems am I naturally drawn to solving?"
Pay attention to what conversations you can't help joining or what issues make you think "someone should really fix that." These are significant clues about where your authentic work might live.
In a world where no job offers guaranteed stability anymore - not even the "practical" ones - we might as well pursue work that matches our wiring.

P.S. The Career Reset program launches today with a full cohort! I actually expanded the group slightly because I couldn't say no to so many perfect-fit participants. While I can't accept more people now, I'm creating a priority waitlist for the next round. Reply with "waitlist" to get on the VIP notification list.
