On this episode we talk about the thing that made us take a break from recording, burnout and compassion fatigue. We take a moment away from the history and address a larger issue in both of our chosen careers and we offer up some stories and thoughts on how to combat compassion fatigue, burnout and depression caused from working in such a profession. If you are experiencing burnout, compassion fatigue, or depression and feel that it is just too much, we want you to know that there are people here for you. You matter and you are making a difference. Get the help you need and find people around you who will help lift you up.
