Just… numb.Episode 3 of Before You Walk Away explores the quiet collapse that happens when helping professionals can no longer feel joy — not because they don’t care, but because they’ve cared so deeply, for so long, it shut something down inside them.This isn’t coldness. It’s survival. And you’re not the only one living in stealth mode.What this episode uncovers: Why emotional numbness is a trauma response, not a personality flaw How you became a robot at work — and a storm at home “Nice-nasty”: when kindness becomes a mask for burnout Survivor’s guilt — and the shame of feeling good while others are in pain How healing begins by reconnecting your head, heart, and spiritFeaturing: SharRon Jamison – Life Strategist / Founder, The Jamison Group / Minister & Corporate Leader / Author (I Can Depend on Me, I Have Learned a Few Things) / Justice-Centered Speaker Bill Simmons – Strategic Growth Coach / Fractional COO & CMO / 30+ Years Scaling Small Businesses / Founder & CEO, Thrive Business Operations / Certified Leadership Consultant Louisa Havers – Transformational Coach / Creator of “Your Impassioned Life” Program / Former Senior Social Services Executive / Master Manifesting & Energy Alignment Expert (The Helix Method®) Peggy Oliveira – Trauma Therapist & Survivor Mentor / MSW / Host of the Courageous Journeys® Podcast / Author & Reconnector to WholenessThis episode isn’t here to fix you.
