About this episode
How do you know if you’re burnt out — or if it’s ADHD, sensitivity, or trauma?
The signs can overlap. The fixes? Completely different.
When you follow advice that wasn’t made for your wiring, it can make burnout worse — not better.
After years working with ADHD, HSPs, and women in trauma recovery, I’ve learned there’s a nervous system “pattern” behind each type of burnout.
Once you know yours, you can stop forcing fixes that don’t work and start supporting yourself in a way made for you.
I break down the 4 main types here — so you can start making changes that actually help.
