Tired of ADHD strategies that don’t work? Here’s what actually does. FREE training here: https://programs.tracyotsuka.com/signup_____You worked harder than everyone around you and still felt like you were falling behind. This episode unpacks why the workplace was never built for your ADHD brain.Meghan French Dunbar, author of This Isn’t Working, is an entrepreneur, former business journalist, CEO, speaker, and workplace consultant. After years of building and selling a company, going to grad school, launching a media career, and burning out more than once, Meghan was diagnosed with ADHD only four years ago.That diagnosis reframed everything. Instead of forcing herself into traditional work models, Meghan started building systems around how her brain works best, from stronger boundaries and values-based decisions to AI support, intentional work hours, and a new definition of success.In this episode, Tracy and Meghan talk about late ADHD diagnosis, ADHD workplace burnout, entrepreneurship, guilt, toxic management, and why so many high-achieving women leave jobs before anyone connects the dots with ADHD.If achievement has always been your scorecard, this conversation offers a better one: purpose, passion, quality of life, and work your brain is able to sustain.Resources:Website: https://www.meghanfrenchdunbar.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/meghanfrenchdunbar LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/meghanfrenchdunbarTEDx talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZfuHsa27yk&authuser=0 Send a Message: Your Name | Email | Message Explore more from me:🧘 SHIFT: https://tracyotsuka.com/shift📚 Free resources: https://tracyotsuka.com/learn📖 Get the book, ADHD for Smart Ass Women: https://tracyotsuka.com/adhd-book🧠 Join Your ADHD Brain is A-OK Academy: https://tracyotsuka.com/aok🌐 Visit my website: https://tracyotsuka.com/ADHD isn’t a productivity problem.
