Most nonprofit leaders know what burnout feels like. But not everyone burns out the same way.In this episode, Tosha Anderson sits down with Britt Stockert, Certified Fundraising Executive and coach at Donorbox, to talk about something that rarely comes up in the nonprofit leadership conversation: neurodivergence and the invisible workload it creates.Britt and Tosha both share their own experiences realizing, in their 40s, that what they thought was anxiety, over-ambition, or just being "a lot" was actually something more specific. And they explore why the nonprofit sector may be uniquely positioned to both attract and burn out neurodivergent leaders at an alarming rate.
In this conversation, you'll hear about:
What "superhero mode" looks like in practice, and why it eventually collapses
The secondary operating system neurodivergent leaders carry that neurotypical colleagues don't
Why neurodivergent burnout often goes undetected in teams until it's a crisis
What alexithymia is and why it matters for nonprofit leaders
Small, practical changes that leaders and organizations can make right now
Why a formal diagnosis is not required to start advocating for yourself
This is one of those episodes that will make a lot of people feel a lot less alone.
