Rekindling: Compassion Fatigue Solutions for Animal Workers

Ep # 333 Summer Series: Nature is Calling You

After a week of giving so much to others, your nervous system might be crying out for a reset. In this episode, we explore how nature can be the medicine we often forget to reach for. From calming our stress hormones to restoring our sense of belonging, the natural world has a profound way of bringing us back to ourselves. Whether it’s a walk in the woods, tending a garden, or simply feeling the sun on your face, nature offers a quiet refuge where you don’t have to be anything but human. This is your gentle reminder: you’re not just here to care for others. You too need caring for. 

Ep# 332 Boundaries Aren't Rejection, They're Love

Boundaries aren’t rejection, and they’re not selfish. They are acts of love. Love for yourself, love for others, and love for the work you care so deeply about. If you’ve been feeling stretched thin, resentful, or guilty for needing space, this episode is your permission slip to reclaim your peace. Because staying connected doesn’t mean losing yourself and honoring your needs is never a failure.

Ep# 331 Take 5 (Minutes) For Your Nervous System

You give so much to others. Being dysregulated is part of the experience of living. Things will trigger your stress response over and over and you will need to know how to get yourself back to regulation. Join me today in doing exactly that! 

Ep# 330 The Anti To-Do List

You already know what’s on your to-do list (too much!) but what about your anti-to-do list? In this epidsode we’ll pause, breathe, and make space for what you don’t need to carry today. Because rest, boundaries, and worthiness don’t need to be earned. You’re already enough.

Ep# 329 My Interview With Grief

I asked ChapGPT to interview me about my grief journey, how I help others move through grief and my new course, Grief&Grace. It was a great conversation even if it was a conversation just with myself! I hope you find something in here that speaks to you.  Grief is universal. We all experience it. This new course I created is an opportunity to work through places you may be stuck with your own grief and to have the ability to see that you are not alone, even though I know it feels like you are.  The world may've moved on but we grievers are working on how to integrate our loss and keep living...with grace.  All the info about Grief & Grace is here.
