389. Practitioner Burnout: Why Overgiving Is Draining Your Energy

from Mentoring with Geraldine · host Geraldine Headley

What if the very thing that makes you a caring practitioner is also the thing quietly draining your energy?Many of us want to help, so we listen deeply, give generously, and go the extra mile. But over time, that care can turn into overgiving. Extra time, extra messages, and carrying more responsibility than is ours to hold.In this episode, I explore the tension between being supportive and becoming overextended. I share why clear boundaries are not harsh, how structure reduces anxiety, and how simple systems can feel kinder for both you and your clients. When expectations are clear, everyone feels more supported.Follow the podcast for weekly support, and if it sparked something for you, I would love you to leave a review. It helps more practitioners find this work and feel supported in what they do.Work with Geraldine:www.geraldineheadley.comwww.instagram.com/mentoringwithgeraldine/
