What if the problem isn’t you, but the job description you’re trying to squeeze into? In this episode, I open up about what happens when we stop forcing ourselves to fit rigid roles and start shaping work around our strengths instead. Job carving has completely changed the way I see my own career, and I think it could change yours too.
I share the honest side of navigating work with a disability, from naming support needs to dealing with stigma, and why it can be so exhausting trying to “prove” yourself in systems that were never designed with you in mind. But I also talk about the moment things clicked for me and how reframing my strengths helped me imagine a role I could actually thrive in.
This episode is about more than job design. It is about confidence, self-worth and giving yourself permission to ask for work that aligns with who you are. You will walk away with practical ideas, but also a reminder that your value is not defined by a checklist in a job ad. If you have ever felt like you are the wrong shape for the role in front of you, this might be the perspective shift you need.
