What’s draining your energy—and how can you protect what little you have left?
In this powerful first episode of our new monthly series Things That Really Matter, Carole Jean and Becca Lory Hector dive into the often invisible emotional and mental toll that autistic individuals face—especially in a world that can feel increasingly marginalizing.
Together, they explore:
✨ How to identify and avoid spoon-stealing conversations ✨ The value of rest, self-care, and creating safe, sustainable routines
✨ Ways to build community that uplifts rather than drains ✨ Why now is the perfect time to build something new
✨ How internal reflection and creativity support long-term resilience
Whether you're autistic yourself or support those who are, this conversation offers a validating, practical, and deeply heartfelt look at how we can protect our spoons—and use them with intention.
🎧 Tune in now and join the conversation about what really matters.
