Carole Jean Whittington, Autistic Burnout Researcher at Whittington Well-Being
About this episode

In this episode of Beyond Chronic Burnout, we sit down with Stephanie Kaiser, founder of Say More, to discuss her personal journey through burnout while navigating the male-dominated world of finance.


Stephanie shares how her experience in high-stress corporate environments led to the creation of her platform, Say More, a virtual community focused on mental wellness, particularly for women.


Stephanie and Carole Jean explore the critical role of community, support systems, and vulnerability in overcoming burnout and mental health struggles.


They discuss how finding the right group of people can transform your well-being, and why creating safe, inclusive spaces is essential for mental wellness.


Tune in for an inspiring conversation on resilience, connection, and the importance of sharing your story.
