#1 Introduction: Why we Say We're Fine (When We're Not)

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. She's on a mission so that everybody has access to the skills and tools needed to build sustainable emotional resilience.  Join Jayne and her weekly guest as they bring conversations from healthcare, social care and beyond - voices of those who know first hand the workplace pressure and trying to find the balance within everyday life.Each guest will be asked the question we so rarely answer honestly, "how are you really feeling?"Because "I'm fine" is rarely the whole story.EF training exists because nobody should have to pour from an empty cup.
