Listen Later

Could you—or someone you care about—be in burnout and not even know it?


In this powerful episode of Beyond Chronic Burnout, Carole Jean Whittington, Lead Burnout Researcher and Chief Well-Being Officer at Whittington Well-Being, brings her recent presentation from the 2nd Annual International Autism Summit straight to you. 🔥


She introduces the Spicy Pepper Scale, a new tool to help identify the stages of burnout, from barely-there to blazing-hot. With over 85% of autistic individuals potentially experiencing Spicy Burnout, it’s time we start calling it what it is—and more importantly, doing something about it.


You'll learn:

  • 🔎 Why burnout often goes unrecognized in autistic people

  • 🌶️ How the Spicy Pepper Scale helps you pinpoint where you are

  • 🧠 The impact of masking, sensory overwhelm, and health overlap

  • ⚙️ How The UnVeiling Method + Rapid Recharge Lab are changing the game in burnout recovery

This is more than a conversation—it’s a wake-up call filled with practical strategies and hope. Plus, Carole Jean shares tools, quizzes, and a sneak peek at her upcoming book to support your journey toward sustainable energy and safety.


🎧 Listen now and start turning down the heat on your burnout.

🎉 You're Invited to the Birthday Book Launch Party! 🎉 Friday, May 2nd | 3 PM CT | MY VIBE Network


This isn’t your usual book launch. This is a celebration of you, your energy, and what becomes possible when we stop hiding and start living—unmasked.


Join hostess Michelle Pecak of the MY VIBE Network and author Carole Jean Whittington for the launch of Living Unmasked: An Autistic Woman’s Guide to Get Into Your Comfort Zone — a groundbreaking book written just for autistic women navigating burnout, masking, and reclaiming their joy.


💬 “We’ve been told to mold, conform, be helpful, and not make a fuss…” And that led to decades of masking—often so well we didn’t realize the slow, quiet burnout setting in. We told ourselves:


“It’s just a stressful season.” “It’ll get better soon.” But that day never came.


Instead, we slipped into the Restoration Illusion Trap—thinking we were okay because it was better than total collapse… but far from thriving.


🚨 It’s time to flip the script.
