Om avsnittet
Ever known something at work is harder for you than it needs to be, and talked yourself out of asking for a change anyway? In this episode, I'm breaking down what workplace accommodations actually look like, and how to ask for them without it turning into a whole ordeal.
I'm walking through what actually counts as an accommodation, why asking feels so loaded when you've spent years masking, real examples that make a difference, and language you can use whether or not you're ready to disclose anything at all.
In this episode:
- What actually counts as an accommodation, and why most of them don't require a diagnosis, HR, or a formal process
- Why asking feels so hard when you've built your whole skill set around blending in
- Real accommodations that help: sensory, communication, workload, and social changes that actually move the needle
- How to ask, with actual scripts, plus what to do if you're not ready to disclose or if you get pushback
