In this powerful episode of Own Your Piece, I sit down with my longtime friend and nonprofit leader Ashley Stallings to talk about something every helper needs to hear: burnout.

Ashley spent the last decade building a child advocacy center, supporting families through some of the hardest moments imaginable. But along the way, she faced the very real challenges of compassion fatigue, secondary trauma, and burnout. Her story of healing, boundary-setting, and launching her new platform, Audibly Ashley, is a must-listen for anyone in the helping professions.

If you’ve ever felt drained by the work you love, or you’re wondering how to prevent burnout in nonprofit or caregiving roles, this conversation will inspire and empower you to protect your energy and keep your passion alive.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • The hidden culture of overwork in helping professions (and why it’s time to flip the script).
  • Ashley’s journey from 24/7 burnout to renewed purpose.
  • Practical strategies for preventing burnout and compassion fatigue.
  • The power of saying “no” so your “yes” has more value.
  • How grounding, energy healing, and simple daily practices can restore your soul.
  • Tips for anyone dreaming of starting a nonprofit.
