In Part 2 of our 3-part series, "Tools & Resources to Help When You're in Burnout," we dive deep into the challenges neurodivergent and disabled adults face during job transitions. Often, burnout is already in full swing after completing that degree, project, or job, and many of us don’t even realize it. At 18, 21, 40, or 80 years old, being autistic or ADHD doesn’t change, though those around us sometimes forget. Moreover, we often fail to acknowledge pivotal moments of transition and the immense power they hold. In this episode, Jackie Coursey—also known as the Queen of Unstuck—joins me to discuss these transition challenges, whether in life or work. Jackie will share her strategies, including what she calls a "self-care sandwich," how to approach a transition if you're currently in one, ways to earn an income during the in-between, and key considerations to set yourself up for success in the next chapter. Don’t miss this insightful conversation packed with practical advice to help you navigate your transitions with confidence and care. 🔗 Register for my 3rd Annual Self Care September:  https://energize.whittingtonwellbeing.com/products/offers/view/1172608  Connect with Jackie Coursey: Sacred Space Coaching: https://www.sacredspacecoaching.net/ Linkedin:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacqueline-coursey-1a57801b7/
