211 - When POTS Flares Up + Perimenopause (Things That REALLY Matter)

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

If you want to go deeper into building energy-friendly routines—ones that restore your nervous system and support burnout recovery—my Recharge Newsletter + Resource Library is the place to start.


You’ll get access to our Clinical Companion Toolkit, packed with tools, worksheets, and guides you can use for yourself or with clients including this month’s Routine Building with Your Enneagram for all 9 types PLUS resources from today’s episode including - A Guide for Autistic Women- Navigating POTS, MCAS, EDS & Hormones .
