Episode #10: Burnout, Diagnosis, and Starting Anew

Michael Ruffin on Late Diagnosis and Thriving with Neurodivergence

On episode #10, I’m speaking with Michael Ruffin, who is an AuDHD coach and streamer. Michael is truly a multi-passionate individual, but everything he does contributes to shaping and providing resources for the neurodivergent community. In my chat with Michael, we talk about the pathway to burnout as a late-diagnosed individual, what is looks like, and how to get out of it. Michael provides a lot of tangible advice on journaling and changing the narrative within our minds. I hope you enjoy this episode as much I did!
