Burnout is real – and for neurodivergent helping professionals, it can sneak up on us in uniquely complex ways….
I adored my conversation with Elle Leher in her incredible neurodoversity podcast Wonderfully Wired, where we explored what burnout looks like … while navigating the world with a wonderfully wired brain.
We talk honestly about:
đź’Ą The early warning signs of burnout we tend to ignore
🧠Why neurodivergent brains may be more vulnerable to burnout
🛑 The role of masking, perfectionism, and people-pleasing
đź’ˇ And how to begin creating safer, more sustainable ways of working
If you’ve ever felt like you’re “too much” and “not enough” at the same time – or if you’ve hit a wall that your usual self-care can’t fix – I get you. I’ve been there. It sucks. But it doesn’t have to – there is another way.
🎧 Listen to the full episode here: Wired for Burnout – A Conversation with Elle. Seriously, if you haven’t explored Elle’s neurodiversity podcast, go take a look – you are in for a serious treat!
Elle cares so deeply about the wonderfully wired, and has dedicated her career to spreading awareness and support for the internationally neurodiverse community. I honestly feel so humbled and grateful to be a guest on this stunning neurodiversity podcast among industry giants who I so admire!
