If you’ve ever wondered “Will it ever happen for me?” this episode is your proof of yes. A year after sharing his story of unemployment and underemployment (Ep. 291), listener favorite Matt Cicarelli is back with the update we all needed: he landed a job he loves—at a human, trust-based agency that actually gets ADHD—and he’s sharing how it happened.What you’ll hear<ol><li>The zig-zag path to “the right job”: grocery store shifts, cemetery work, and the random roadside sign that led to a warm intro and a great offer.</li><li>Why environment is everything: from walking on eggshells to being trusted, asking “basic” questions without shame, and dropping the exhausting mask at work.</li><li>ADHD at work, for real: how a boss who understands neurodiversity changes productivity, confidence, and day-to-day calm.</li><li>Emotional regulation in the wild: Matt’s 30 years as a basketball referee, what happens when emotions are contagious, and the skills he’s practicing to not “take the bait” at home.</li><li>Growth without perfection: self-trust, defensiveness dialed down, and the slow, steady GPS moving in the right direction.</li></ol>Why you’ll love itThis is the episode that makes you exhale. Matt’s story is honest, funny, and deeply relatable—especially if you’ve faked it at work, white-knuckled through interviews, or wondered if you’ll ever find a place where you can be yourself and still thrive.
