Unmasked - Beyond Burnout - Hormones, Nutrition and your Busy Brain
About this session
Burnout isn't a productivity problem. It's a biology problem.
And if you've ever felt completely exhausted - the kind that sleep doesn't fix - you'll know that "do less and rest more" isn't really an answer.
In this Unmasked session, hormone specialist Karine Stephan and executive coach Liz Chauhan-Grof get into the real reasons burnout hits busy brains so hard, and why recovery is so much more complicated than anyone tells you.
Together they explore the hormonal and psychological forces behind modern exhaustion, and share practical, grounded tools for navigating it in real life and real work.
This isn't a one-way lecture. You'll have the chance to ask questions, share your own experiences, and be part of the conversation, because the best insights often come from the room itself.

She is also the co-author of Unique Minds, Unique Menopause, a practical, evidence-informed guide to navigating menopause through a neurodivergent lens.
Her approach is empowering, realistic, and rooted in the belief that sustainable change is possible, even for the busiest brains.
Meet Liz Chauhan-Grof
Liz is an executive and leadership coach with a background in recruitment and career development, working with individuals and organisations to navigate professional change with clarity and confidence.
She brings a sharp understanding of the pressures facing women in modern working life - the mental load, the invisible labour, the expectation to keep performing regardless of what's happening hormonally or personally. Her coaching approach is direct, warm, and firmly rooted in the real world.
Liz is the co-author of Unique Minds, Unique Menopause alongside Karine, which grew out of a shared conviction that neurodivergent women navigating midlife are chronically underserved - by employers, by the medical system, and by the wellness industry at large.
