What if burnout isn’t about the job itself, but the culture around it?

In this episode, Lauren “L2” Howard—mental health advocate and founder of LB Health—opens up about walking away from a “dream job,” navigating toxic workplaces, and building a neuroaffirming clinic that helps people reclaim their worth. She and host Dr. Cynthia Bentzen-Mercer dive into the hidden roots of burnout, imposter syndrome, and the rise of late-life neurodivergence diagnoses.

You’ll hear:

  • Why burnout is rarely about the workload itself
  • How boundaries protect both your career and your mental health
  • Why “different” doesn’t mean broken—and how to embrace it

This conversation is real, raw, and packed with hope for anyone struggling to feel enough. Listen in and remember: you don’t need permission to be kinder to yourself.
