The Resource
From Mining Sites to Mic Drops: Becky's Back.
Becky launched The Resource Podcast during the FIFO Inquiry to spark real talk about culture, mental health, and the hard stuff no one wants to touch. Think truth bombs, tough convos, and healing with humour.
Now she's back, flipping the script again. After 40 episodes and 15,000 mining crew later, the podcast is diving deeper into money stress, mindset shifts, relationships, and the stories we tell ourselves.
Expect raw chats, zero fluff, and life-saving honesty. If you've ever felt stuck, broke, or burnt out, this one's for you.
The hope is that listeners feel so supported, informed, and confident about these topics that you start and continue better conversations that create lasting change. This is a place that is made and supported by the people, for the people. A team effort where we unite to make a lasting change.

Why I Got Burnt Out From Caring Too Much: Compassion Fatigue | Becky Felstead | The Resource Podcast
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What happens when you care too much for too long?
In this deeply honest solo episode, Becky Feldstead opens up about compassion fatigue, emotional burnout, trauma exposure, and the invisible toll of constantly witnessing pain — both online and in real life.
From working in mental health and suicide prevention to hearing devastating stories through podcasting, workplace advocacy, and speaking engagements, Becky shares the moment she realized she had hit breaking point… and why she stepped away from her podcast for an entire year.
This conversation explores:
- Compassion fatigue and emotional overwhelm
- The impact of social media and constant exposure to trauma
- Burnout in helpers, empaths, caregivers, leaders & advocates
- Losing hope in the world — and how to find your way back
- The emotional weight of “being the strong one”
- Why protecting your mental health matters
- Practical ways to refill your own cup
This is a powerful conversation for anyone who feels emotionally exhausted, numb, overwhelmed, or deeply affected by the state of the world.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re carrying everyone else’s pain… this episode is for you.
