In this episode, we delve into the pervasive issue of empathy fatigue, especially as it relates to trauma, exploring how the constant exposure to global anxiety and distress can leave us emotionally drained. We discuss the importance of sitting with your own feelings and prioritizing self-care, emphasizing that you must help yourself first before you can effectively support others. The conversation also touches on the detrimental effects of screen addiction, which exacerbates empathy fatigue and anxiety. Finally, we offer practical strategies for building a resilient capacity to care, introducing 'happy habits' that can rejuvenate your spirit and restore balance in a world that often feels overwhelming. Join Cole for an insightful discussion on navigating these emotional challenges and fostering a healthier empathetic outlook.

I hope this helps all those suffering from empathy fatigue and screen time burnout right now, and let me know in the comments or in a review how this episode impacted you ❤️

with love and ease,

Cole
