We've all heard it. Try harder. Work harder. Push through. And sometimes that's true — effort matters. But for a lot of people, especially those with ADHD, autism, or different neurological wiring, trying harder isn't the problem. It never was.

It's about being asked to work in a system that was never designed for your brain. If you've ever felt like you were working twice as hard as everyone else and still coming up short, this episode is for you.
