This is the most emotionally honest episode I’ve ever recorded.

In today’s conversation, Shaun Arora returns to The Neurodivergent Report to discuss Microsoft research on work–life balance, but the fullness of what really happened is way more useful.

Listen now to co-regulate with me from all things overwhelm, chronic illness, and executive dysfunction.

If you feel dizzy surviving a world that won’t slow down for you, this episode will meet you exactly where you are.

*TRIGGER WARNING; crying*

Curious what’s inside:

• Why Microsoft’s “time spent = goal acheived” model falls apart for ADHD and chronic illness

• Why rigid systems don’t work for brains that fluctuate

• The somatic signs of emotional overload

• How to transition after a moment of dysregulation

• Vulnerability as leadership: find the courage to let yourself be witnessed

However you are able to engage, thanks for being here!

With love, Sarah 💜
