Do you sometimes feel drained by the emotional demands of your work?

In this episode of Practicing Connection, we explore compassion resilience - the ability to care deeply while protecting your own well-being. Learn what it is, why it matters, and a simple practice to start building it today.

Service providers often face emotionally demanding work, which can lead to compassion fatigue or burnout.

In this episode, Jessica introduces the concept of compassion resilience: maintaining empathy and strength while supporting others.

You’ll learn key strategies to build resilience and a practical reflection exercise to help you process your day, celebrate small wins, and prioritize self-care.
