Allegra Chapman - Why Creativity Dies in Corporate, Job Hopping Struggles, & Redefining "Success"

Friday, August 14, 2026 • Duration 29:48

In this episode of #WorkisRigged, Veronica and Allegra Chapman dive into why creativity so often dies in corporate settings, where rigid structures and "brand guidelines" prioritize conformity over true innovation.

Together, they challenge the traditional, narrow definition of success and offer insights on how to build a career that honors your neurodivergent brain rather than fighting against it.

Allegra Chapman is an author, columnist, and AuDHD dissident who founded Creative Fix to support neurodivergent, disabled, and chronically ill people in nurturing their creative potential and mental health. Her latest book, Divergent Creatives, is available now.
