In this enlightening episode of Beyond Chronic Burnout, we sit down with Bridgette Hamstead, neurodiversity consultant, educator, and executive director of Fish in a Tree, to discuss the intricate relationship between burnout and neurodiversity. Bridgette opens up about her personal journey through autistic burnout, shedding light on her struggles with late diagnosis, energy management, and building a support network. Through her experiences, she has learned how to prevent burnout by integrating mindfulness, flexible work arrangements, and community-driven support systems. She also shares the mission of her organization, Fish in a Tree, and how it’s making strides in creating spaces where neurodivergent individuals can thrive through self-awareness and advocacy. If you’ve ever felt isolated, overwhelmed, or misunderstood in a high-stress environment, this conversation offers both insight and hope. 🔗 Connect with Carole Jean Whittington: Take the Spicy Pepper Burnout Quiz and explore Carole Jean's new book 'Unleashing Sustainable Energy' at Whittington Well-Being's website: https://whittingtonwellbeing.com/ PLUS, this month, we’re offering a FREE Daily Stress Relief Tracker for Leaders and Managers.
