Ep. 5: The Compassion Fatigue Cycle: The Zombie Phase

In this episode, we explore the zombie phase of the compassion fatigue cycle—when emotional numbness, detachment, and exhaustion become the norm. You may feel like you’re moving through your days on autopilot, disconnected from your passion, purpose, and even your own emotions. We break down the key signs of the zombie phase, why it’s so dangerous for animal advocates, and how to begin reconnecting with yourself and your mission.
