What does it actually look like to care… without carrying everything?

This episode lives in the space between burnout and self-compassion—where being deeply empathetic starts to feel heavy, and learning how to pull that energy back inward becomes necessary.

Stef reflects on boundaries, emotional responsibility, and the quiet shift from over-functioning to choosing yourself. From being “fresh out of empathy” to rebuilding it in a way that actually lasts.

A thoughtful, honest episode about letting things matter… without letting them consume you.
