Season 2 - Ep 9 - Hanging Up Your Admin Boots

In this episode, Candice and Jessica open up about the pivotal moments when they realized it was time to transition from their roles as Executive Assistants and explore new career paths. These decisions came after deep reflection and, in Candice's case, seeking outside counsel to confirm that her journey as an EA had come to an end. Jessica shares her perspective on how traditional office environments often present challenges for neurodiverse individuals, including those with autism or ADHD. She discusses how the pandemic created a more inclusive work-from-home environment where many thrived, and the difficulties now faced as full-time office returns are being enforced.

This honest and thought-provoking episode dives into career evolution, self-awareness, and the broader conversation around inclusivity in the workplace.
