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.
