This week, Heather and Waddell close out the month’s focus on compassionate care by getting real about the long game of change. They unpack what it means to work within flawed systems while trying to make them better, why collaboration and humility matter more than playing “savior,” and how mutual aid can create ripples that slowly shift the bigger picture.

From self-reflection and knowing your own strengths to teaming up with others to cover blind spots, this conversation is a grounded reminder that sustainable compassion isn’t a solo act—it’s a collective effort that takes time, courage, and a whole lot of humanity.
