S3.10 Systems, Snacks & Spicy Brains: Neurodivergent at Work
What happens when your brain just… doesn’t do things the “normal” way? In this episode, Sydney and Lauren open up about their ADHD diagnoses, how that’s shaped their work lives, and all the strange, funny, and frustrating ways neurodivergence shows up day-to-day.
In this episode, they break down what it’s really like to navigate office systems, endless meetings, and brain chaos when your neurodivergent mind doesn’t quite fit the corporate mold.
We’re talking:
The many (mis)diagnoses before landing on ADHD
Why medication feels like discovering a cheat code
Rejection sensitivity dysphoria (aka why one email can ruin your week)
Demand avoidance, face blindness, and other quirks people don’t talk about enough
Surviving corporate life while neurodivergent
This isn’t medical advice, just real experiences, some laughs, and maybe a little validation if you’ve ever thought “wow, my brain makes no sense.” Spoiler: you’re not alone.
