Listen "Caring about the world without losing your mind"
Episode Synopsis
This week, our hosts Cara and Vince explore how to stay compassionate and engaged in a world that feels heavier than ever.
From doomscrolling and online outrage to activism fatigue and the myth of “doing it all,” they ask how social workers can keep caring without burning out. Cara reflects on her recent article, while Vince unpacks the pressure to be publicly political and the toll of constant bad news. Together, they share practical ways to protect your peace, find perspective, and hold onto hope - even when everything feels overwhelming.
