    Square Pegs, Round Holes, and Honest ADHD Talk with Sue Day

    You shouldn't have to fit a square peg through a round hole! Do you feel like a square peg constantly being forced into a hole you cannot fit through, no matter what? ADHD coach Sue Day joins us to explore how neurodivergent people can find structure, self-compassion, and success...without masking who they are. As the founder of Pathway Forward Coaching and a graduate of the ADHD Coaching Academy, Sue shares her personal journey with ADHD and how it shapes the way she works with clients across the neurodiversity spectrum. They dive into time blindness, executive function, and the emotional toll of trying to "fit in" at work.

    Acing the Interview: Make Your Resume Reflect the Real You

Neurodivergent brains have it even worse off than our neurotypical peers: Getting hung up on the words, formatting, it can take an hour just to jot down a paragraph or two. Then there's the impostor syndrome: What if recruiters don't like it, or the ATS just spits it out? This episode covers some actionable steps you can take to improve the content, formatting, and structure of your resume. If you're an autistic infodumper like me, have trouble focusing with ADHD, or struggle with formatting details or catching typos due to dyslexia, this is the episode for you.
