Job loss

Most of my friends have great jobs, live with their partners, and are doing the thing. I love them. But there's a specific kind of exhaustion that comes from being the one they check in on, the one who's still job hunting, the one who gets the soft voice and the head tilt. I'm tired of it. And I suspect I'm not the only one.

Job hunting with ADHD isn't just hard, it's a full-body, brain-fighting experience. Burnout, rejection sensitivity, and the CV copy-paste trap: here's the honest version nobody's writing.

I promised I’d be blogging weekly… and, well, that didn’t happen. Lately, motivation’s been low, job hunting’s been slow, and I’m questioning what I really want from work and life. I love marketing, but I need it to mean something, to make a difference. For now, I’m learning to sit with the uncertainty and trust that the right path will find me (eventually).

Losing two jobs in one year? Not on my bingo card, but here we are. From painful redundancy to a soul-crushing role that broke me, I’m unemployed again, but lighter than ever. Australia awaits, and 2026 can handle the rest. Here’s to choosing relief over burnout.
