In this episode of Intentional Oversharing, Neely Kimey and Nav Rao explore navigating the tech industry through multiple cycles of burnout, from startup pressure and hustle culture to micromanagement, emotional disconnection, and that strange feeling of being mentally offline even while working. They explore dissociation, video games as coping tools, and what the default mode network has to do with living on autopilot and brain health.

They also dig into the burnout patterns that get harder to recover from over time, and the role perfectionism, people-pleasing, and the chase for external validation play in keeping neurodivergent brains stuck in unsustainable environments.
