Have you ever heard of compassion fatigue?
This week Steven and I sat down to talk about compassion fatigue, but the conversation quickly shifted into something deeper. Steven reframes it as a misdiagnosis: what most of us are actually experiencing is caretaking fatigue, and there's a big difference. We got into where the caretaking pattern comes from, how it shows up in our work as practitioners (and in our personal lives), why common prescriptions like rest and boundary-setting often miss the root, and what it actually looks like to move from caretaking into genuine caring. If you've ever felt burnt out, resentful, or quietly exhausted by the work you love — this one's worth a listen. Thank you to everyone who joined us live.
