If you've ever felt exhausted by caring, you're not alone, and you're not failing. In this episode, Anne Kierce, Pastor of Care, and Alicia Penning, Associate Director of Care, talk honestly about compassion fatigue: the signs, the causes, and what to do when the weight of caring for others starts to feel like too much. From setting boundaries to giving yourself permission to rest, this conversation is for every caregiver who needs to be reminded that you need care too.
