There comes a moment when holding it all together simply stops working. . .
. . .when exhaustion, fear, and heartbreak collide, and you wonder if there’s anything left of you at all.

From Burnout to Burning Bright is a tender companion for those standing in that fire. R. Scott Holmes and twenty-four deeply intuitive, heart-centered experts share their raw stories of collapse and renewal and the life-giving tools they used to find their way back.

You’ll discover practices for calming overwhelm, reclaiming your energy, and meeting yourself with compassion instead of criticism. You’ll find sentences you’ll want to underline, tape to your mirror, and breathe into on the hardest days. If you’ve ever felt yourself wonder if healing is still possible for you, this book offers a steady, heartfelt yes, and walks beside you as you move from burnout to burning bright.

Today we have six of those authors sharing their perspective on burnout and their contributing chapter, and what it means to thrive again as a whole person.

Sara Jane

Every experience we have and learn from, is not only a gift to ourselves but when shared, a gift to those who read it or hear it. The challenges I faced, coming so close to a nervous breakdown and more, are not unique to me. Being open and honest about them, supports others to know they aren’t alone.

RG26-18. Dr Susan Blumberg & Marriage with a Neurodivergent Child

May 4, 2026April 29, 2026Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Raising Our Gifted Children with Sara Troy and her guest Dr Susan Blumberg, on air from May 5th

Today, we’re opening a conversation that touches the heart of many homes, the delicate dance between communication, relationships, and the realities of raising a neurodivergent child within a marriage.

There’s a common belief that having a child with special needs automatically places a marriage under greater strain, even leading to higher divorce rates. But the truth is more nuanced than that. It isn’t the child who defines the outcome—it’s how the couple chooses to walk the journey together.

When communication remains open, when both partners feel seen, heard, and supported, the relationship can deepen in ways never imagined. The challenge then becomes not just caring for the child, but consciously nurturing the partnership, making space for connection, understanding, and shared resilience.

This is about balance… about choosing each other as much as you choose your child, and recognizing that a strong relationship becomes one of the greatest gifts you can offer your family.

I’m a married mother of two young adult, twice-exceptional children. I’ve lived in Colorado for over 40 years, but I still think of myself as a New Yorker!

My background in cognitive behavioral therapy informs my work as a life coach, as I help people set goals, plan their journey, and achieve success. I worked as a licensed clinical psychologist for over 20 years, in mental health agencies, in private practice, and for the federal government overseeing child welfare and adoption services in the Rocky Mountain region. This has given me a solid and varied background, and extensive level of experience.

Working as a special education advocate for 40 years means I have honed my skills as a negotiator, my ability to collaborate, and my understanding of being a team member. I always put your child first. I have training from the Arc, Wrightslaw, and I was a member of COPAA, the Council Of Parent Attorneys and Advocates. I have sat on both sides of the IEP table, as a professional and a parent, which gives me an unique perspective. Though I am not currrently taking new clients, I am available for consultation as needed.

I am also the coauthor of multiple books, including Fighting for Your Marriage (2010, Markman, Stanley & Blumberg), 12 Hours to a Great Marriage (2003, Markman, Stanley & Blumberg) and Parenting a Child with Sensory Processing Disorder: a family guide to understanding and supporting your sensory-sensitive child (2006, Auer & Blumberg).
