from From Whys to Wise · host Jordan Lux

Welcome to From Whys to Wise!EPISODE 3.In this episode, we break down how neurodivergence has shaped our work lives, from chronic boredom and burnout to job-hopping, conflict with managers, and why entrepreneurship can feel like the only option. We share real stories from our careers, including “rage quitting,” struggling with corporate expectations, and learning how ADHD impacts motivation, focus, and communication at work. Stay until the end for a candid generational comparison on how work used to function before computers and why today’s job search feels like a whole different kind of overwhelm.Please make sure to subscribe to support me and the show!About the show: Join me and my mom, Danni ( @TheNICHELady ) as we dive deep into generational trauma and victim mentality.
