Season 6 / Episode #1 - Your Brain Has Opened an Investigation ADHD, RSD & the Imaginary Workplace Crisis
Episode 1
Sunday, 23 August, 2026
Send us Fan Mail Your Brain Has Opened an Investigation: ADHD, RSD & the Imaginary Workplace Crisis Your boss says, “Can we talk?”That’s it. Three words.And somehow, 30 seconds later, your brain has opened an investigation, reconstructed the timeline, reviewed six months of emails, identified three possible suspects and concluded that you should probably update your résumé.Welcome to rejection sensitivity at work.In this episode of How to Keep Your Day Job, Lisa explores ADHD, rejection sensitivity and the very convincing stories our brains can create when information is missing.We’re talking about the unanswered email. The oddly worded text. The performance feedback. The client who chose someone else. The meeting invitation you didn’t get. And, of course, the deeply hostile period after “Okay.”You’ll hear why rejection sensitivity doesn’t always look like an emotional reaction. Sometimes it looks like over-preparing, over-explaining, people pleasing, avoiding difficult conversations, keeping every receipt and arriving at a 15-minute meeting with enough supporting documentation to testify before a parliamentary committee.More importantly, we’ll talk about what you can actually do when your brain starts building a case.How do you separate what happened from what you think it means? How do you slow down your response without dismissing what you’re feeling? And how do you handle criticism, disagreement and uncertainty without turning them into evidence that something is wrong with you?Because sometimes there really is a problem. And sometimes... they were just in a meeting.🎙️ How to Keep Your Day Job Practical conversations about work, leadership, business and all the human stuff that comes with it.Maybe don’t send the second email. 📬 Connect with Morning Star ExchangeIf today’s episode got you thinking, we’d love to connect.Whether you’re a nonprofit organization, charity, clinical practice, small business, regulated professional, or leadership team looking to strengthen your organization, Morning Star Exchange is here to help. 🌐 Website morningstarexchange.ca📧 Email info@morningstarexchange.ca📱 Instagram @morningstarexchangeinc📘 Facebook Morning Star Exchange💼 LinkedIn Morning Star Exchange🎙️ Follow How to Keep Your Day Job For practical conversations about work, leadership, business, and all the human stuff that comes with it.
