Manage episode 501956796 series 3301052
Summer heat, humidity, and hormone shifts can turn POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) into a perfect storm—especially for autistic women navigating perimenopause.
In this episode of our Things That REALLY Matter series, Carole Jean Whittington and co-host Becca Lory Hector get real about living through POTS flare-ups and how they collide with energy, self-care, and internal beliefs about productivity.
We cover:
- 🌡️ How heat and humidity intensify POTS symptoms—and the early signals to watch for
- 🧃 Practical self-care tools that make flares more manageable (salt, electrolytes, compression, cooling strategies)
- 🛑 The hidden battle with shame and guilt around resting during flare days
- 💬 Language that helps others understand what’s happening when you “look fine” but aren’t
- 🌱 Why redefining success and celebrating micro-wins matter during flare seasons
- 🔄 How perimenopause adds another layer to managing energy and resilience
