She and host Dr. Cynthia Bentzen-Mercer dive into the hidden roots of burnout, imposter syndrome, and the rise of late-life neurodivergence diagnoses. You’ll hear: Why burnout is rarely about the workload itself How boundaries protect both your career and your mental health Why “different” doesn’t mean broken—and how to embrace it This conversation is real, raw, and packed with hope for anyone struggling to feel enough.
