Episode 18 - Meltdowns, Burnout, and Mental Traps

WE ARE IN A DEFINING MOMENT IN HISTORY right now. Everything has changed in a matter of weeks and it is A LOT to process! On episode 18 I discuss coronavirus (briefly, don't worry, that is not the main discussion here) and how we're all dealing with this situation differently, I talk about meltdowns and burnout, easy traps we often fall into within (self) advocacy and processing a new diagnosis, and more of my info-dumping rants! Those who join my Patreon will get to dive deeper into the content and enjoy an extended discussion about meltdowns and burnout only available on THE SECRET PODCAST tier! (only available to members of the secret podcast tier)
