Welcome to episode 108. If you've ever felt like the 9–5 world just isn't for you, you're not alone. This episode shines a light on why traditional jobs can feel overwhelming for those who are neurodivergent - think unclear expectations, social pressures, and sensory overload - and the opportunities that present themselves in self-employment. Starting your own business can bring freedom, fulfilment and confidence to be authentically you. Listen in for practical tips on avoiding burnout, outsourcing, and finding the confidence to build a work environment  in which you can thrive. Let's dive in!

·       Redefining the "rules" of work – Being your own boss and the freedom to design a work environment that supports your individual needs.

·       Finding your people - Why connecting with supportive communities builds understanding, encouragement, and a sense of belonging that traditional workplaces often lack.

·       Still an employee? There's good news - you don't need a formal diagnosis to ask for adjustments in the workplace.
