Episode notes

Why is burnout so often a hidden collapse?

In this candid episode, host Rachel Morris and guest Catherine Lightfoot reframe burnout not as a single crash but as a “slow disappearing of self,” often hidden by masking - especially for neurodivergent professionals - and intensified by personal and organisational change.

Listeners will get concrete takeaways for themselves and others:

  • How to spot disconnection behind the word “fine,”
  • How to design humane policies and communication processes
  • How to encourage simple regulation rituals like brief daily check‑ins

Tune in for a practical compass—self, share, support—and the deceptively powerful prompt Catherine shares which she now lives by: What do I need right now?
