Show Notes

Do you ever feel drained from caring so much? In this episode, I dive into the hidden cost of empathy—when our natural ability to tune into others’ feelings leaves us exhausted, resentful, or even numb. This isn’t about a lack of compassion; it’s about what happens when we carry the weight of everyone else’s emotions without knowing how to set boundaries or refill our own cup.

Right now, in light of everything we’re witnessing as a society, empathy fatigue may be something you’re experiencing without even realizing it. The constant exposure to others’ pain—whether through the news, social media, or within our own families—can quietly wear us down.
