What makes someone choose a life of caring for others, even when it costs them something?
Some people don’t run from the fire… they run toward it.
In this episode, we step into the heart behind human services and the people who choose this work every day. Through a personal story of finding a path in recreation therapy, we explore what draws someone into a life of caring for others.
But this work comes with a cost.
We talk about the idea of the “wounded healer” and how empathy, compassion, and deep sensitivity can be both a strength and a weight to carry. When you feel everything, how do you keep going without losing yourself?
This conversation also offers a perspective for leaders. If you’re leading people who care deeply, how do you support them in a way that protects both their heart and their sustainability?
If you’ve ever wondered what drives someone to run toward the fire, or how to build a culture that truly supports those who do, this episode is for you.
