In this slightly vulnerable episode, I’m talking about a job that should’ve been simple (night shifts stacking shelves) and why it left me drained in ways I didn’t expect.
Not because the work itself was hard, but because of everything around it as a neurodivergent person felt A LOT: the social cues, the perception I needed to be faster, and the way my brain wouldn’t stop running the shift long after I clocked out.
This isn’t a complaint about retail—it’s a reflection on how even the job that looks ideal for you on paper can be tough when you’re neurodivergent.
And how sometimes, the issue isn’t your effort, it's your expectations!
I’ll share what it taught me about work, energy, and building something that actually fits and I'll offer some tips for anyone else trying to figure out a better way to work with their brain, not against it.
