  • Court documents have revealed Ben Roberts-Smith was allegedly attempting to move overseas before his arrest

Deep Dive: Burnout is often framed as a personal failure, but neuroscience tells a different story, one where chronic stress and cognitive overload are predictable biological responses to modern work and life.

Basically, our brains aren’t equipped to deal with how we’re forced to work and live in 2026.

In this episode of The Briefing, Neuro‑performance scientist Dr Kristy Goodwin explains how chronic stress rewires our heads, why the brain prioritises short‑term survival over long‑term health, and why “powering through” often leads to physical breakdown, not resilience.
