Autumn is here, and with it come plenty of starts and a constant barrage of asks to give, volunteer, and show up for meaningful causes. In this episode, Osheta and Jer explore the reality of compassion fatigue and how to discern ‘what’s mine to do.’ With personal anecdotes, they discuss the pulls on our empathy, managing the feeling of being stretched like Gumby, and the importance of grounding oneself spiritually to make wise decisions. From reflective daily practices to the Ignatian Examen, this conversation provides practical insights on maintaining peace and showing up authentically during this busy season. 02:10 Osheta’s compassion fatigue05:29 Jer feels like Gumby08:55 Osheta burns out10:33 Doing the deeper work14:38 Three things to look for18:10 Mentorship19:56 Socialized as a woman21:35 Practice: Three questions23:11 What’s mine to do?25:33 Osheta does the examen30:32 Closing
