Wired to Achieve, Built to Burn Out: A Neurodivergent Reality Check

You've built the career. You're raising the family. You're crushing it by every measure — so why does it feel like you're running on fumes? In this episode, Wainwright Yu— technology executive, Stanford-trained leadership coach, and mindfulness teacher — gets real about the hidden energy tax neurodivergent adults pay every single day. From masking in meetings to managing a household of four multi-exceptional kids, Wainwright Yu knows firsthand what it means to spend years pouring from a cup nobody realizes is almost empty. He shares how discovering his own neurodivergence through his children reshaped his understanding of both his greatest strengths and his deepest challenges — and why the path forward isn't about pushing harder, but about spending your energy with intention. If you've ever wondered why "doing it all" leaves you with nothing left, this one's for you.https://www.wainwrightyu.com/abouthttps://www.nchpad.org/resources/spoon-theory-a-new-way-to-think-about-your-daily-energy/
