About this listen
This episode is for the helpers — the teachers, caregivers, therapists, support staff, medical workers, social workers, and all of us who hold space for others every single day.
We talk a lot about caring for people… but we don’t often talk about the weight that comes with caring.
The emotional labor.
The quiet exhaustion.
The pressure to stay “strong,” steady, and supportive — even when we’re struggling ourselves.
In this conversation, I’m joined by Morgan, Special Education teacher, ABA graduate student, and founder of She Shapes Behavior, to explore what it really means to care deeply while still protecting your own energy.
We discuss:
• Compassion fatigue and the emotional toll of helping
• Why “being the strong one” feels so heavy
• The guilt that can show up when we try to set boundaries
• How to support others without disappearing in the process
• What sustainable, grounded care looks and feels like
If you’ve ever felt tired in a way that sleep doesn’t fix — this episode will feel like a deep exhale.
You are not alone. And your care matters — including the care you give to yourself.
