February is Heart Month, and this new episode of 4 Women and a Funeral takes an honest look at the stress we have normalized in funeral service and what it is doing to our hearts, our health, and our lives.

Lisa Baue is joined by Alicia Carr, Ellen Wynn McBrayer, and Melissa Posey Loose for a real conversation about long hours, emotional labor, and the pressure to do it all. Together, they explore how burnout is often treated as a personal issue when it is really a leadership, staffing, or systems challenge.

You will also hear practical tools and language you can use right away, including ways to set healthier expectations, simple stress check ins, and reminders that rest, boundaries, and support are not optional.

This episode is a powerful reminder that caring for others should never mean sacrificing your own wellbeing.
