24|The Cost of Caring: Spotting Compassion Fatigue Before Burnout

In this episode of Recovery on Rucker, April and Jack unpack the reality of compassion fatigue—when the deep desire to care, coach, and support others begins to drain your own well-being. They share personal insights on how trainers, recovery staff, parents, first responders, and caregivers can recognize the early warning signs, set healthy boundaries, and keep service from slipping into resentment. This candid conversation offers practical strategies to sustain your energy, protect your mental health, and continue showing up for the people who need you most.  Snohomish County Recovery Coalition Everett Recovery Cafe
