from I'm Fine! - The Truth Behind the Smile · host Jayne Ellis

What happens when the people who dedicate their lives caring for others forget to care for themselves?In this introductory episode, our Host Jayne Ellis opens up about her own journey through compassion fatigue, a difficult exit from a career in Healthcare that she loved and the moment she realised that emotional health and safety in the workplace wasn't just overlooked - it was barely there! This inspired Jayne to write her first course to bring awareness for others who were suffering without the proper support in place and EF training was founded.
