Are you feeling totally tapped out lately? Like you want to care, but your emotional tank is just…empty? In this episode of HOT AIR, we dive into empathy fatigue – what it is, why it’s hitting so many of us hard right now, and the surprising science behind why caring can actually burn you out. We’ll break down the difference between empathy fatigue, compassion fatigue, and straight-up burnout, and give you practical ways to refill your cup without becoming a numb robot.

Tune in if you’re tired AF, empathy fatigued AF, or just curious about why you can’t seem to care like you used to. This is your permission slip to take a breath, reset, and remember that saving the world starts with saving yourself.

What makes someone stand up and speak out?

In this episode of HOT AIR, [Your Name] sits down with Noelle Carney Campbell, the teacher, activist, and everyday hero behind the viral Instagram reel confronting Mike Munsing and the city council’s proposed Pride flag ban.

Noelle shares how she first found out about the city council meeting, what pushed her to step up to the podium, and how it felt when her passionate speech spread across the internet. She opens up about what drives her activism, how she balances her work as an educator with speaking truth to power, and why allyship matters now more than ever.

🎧 In this episode:

• How Noelle’s viral city council speech came to be
• The behind-the-scenes of confronting anti-LGBTQ+ policies
• Balancing teaching, motherhood, and activism
• How to be an effective ally and advocate in your own community
• Why showing up matters, even when you feel unqualified

If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to make a difference, this conversation will remind you that activism doesn’t always start with a plan – sometimes it starts with an email, a headline, or a moment that makes you say, “Not today.”
