This week, I sat down with Shell Mendelson, an ADHD Career Coach with a powerful story and even stronger mission.

We talked about what it’s like to discover your neurodivergence later in life, how that changes everything, and why blue-collar careers could be the ideal match for people with ADHD.

Shell’s message is clear: ADHD doesn’t hold you back... misunderstanding ADHD does.
