YOU MIGHT BE FEELING EMPATHY BURNOUT.

When you’re someone who naturally shows up for others, listens, supports, and holds space, it becomes easy to miss how much of your own emotional energy is being spent along the way.

Empathy burnout can look like pulling away from people, but it can also look like staying present for everyone else while feeling emotionally drained inside.

Being the one who understands all the time can start to feel heavy over time. It’s not about caring less. It’s about having little room left to receive the same care inward.

Setting boundaries, taking emotional pauses, and protecting your energy doesn’t take away from your kindness. It makes your care more sustainable.

This difference makes the DIFFERENCE.

BIPOC therapists are still underrepresented in the mental health space, and that gap matters. Shared culture can make it easier to feel understood, to speak freely, and to sit in a space without constantly having to explain your lived. experience.

You don’t need company to start doing things you’re curious about. 🤞🏿

Doing something just for you can feel unfamiliar at first, especially when you’re used to moving with other people. But choosing yourself in those moments builds a different kind of confidence, the kind that comes from showing up because
you want to.

New experiences, new spaces, even new connections tend to follow when you give yourself permission to go first.

There’s a lot that can open up when you stop waiting and start choosing. 🤍

𝟯 𝗦𝗜𝗚𝗡𝗦 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗠𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧 𝗡𝗘𝗘𝗗 𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗔𝗣𝗬.

You’re thinking about it.
You’re curious about it.
You’re looking for a sign to try it.

That alone says a lot.

It usually means something in you is ready for support, ready to be heard, or ready to understand yourself a little more. You don’t need to wait for things to get worse or more overwhelming for it to “count.”

The intention is enough.

Try it with Menna.

That’s why it’s important to give yourself grace, especially when you’re starting something new…

These are the kinds of conversations I bring into organizations, leadership spaces, and high-performance environments when we talk about change, burnout, pressure, and sustainable performance.

If you’re looking for workshops, panels, or expert discussions that resonate and spark meaningful change, you’re in the right place.

Some relationship habits become normal simply because we have done them for years.

You answer every message immediately.
You smooth things over in the group chat.
You explain yourself in three different ways hoping people understand.

Over time those patterns shape how we show up with coworkers, friends, family, partners, and even ourselves.

Sometimes growth in relationships comes from adding something new.Other times it comes from stopping things that were never working in the first place.

It is easy to put a lot on the people we care about without realizing it.

Wanting them to understand us fully, support us in everything, and always show up the way we need.

But when we let go of that pressure, friendships feel easier to breathe in. 🍃

To My Navy ✨

Parent-child relationship and emotional safety are shaped in everyday moments of listening, boundaries, and validation. As a therapist, daughter, and first-time mom, I reflect on the importance of emotionally healthy parenting, secure attachment, and raising children who feel safe to express themselves.

This is putting yourself first. ✨

Many people wait for a sense of readiness before beginning therapy. In practice, starting often grows from small, intentional choices and a willingness to explore support.

Therapy can begin with curiosity and openness. The first few sessions create space to understand what you’re carrying and how support can feel for you.

If this has been on your mind, this may be a helpful place to begin.

We are currently offering 2 free therapy sessions with Menna Wahba through our Low-Cost Therapy program.

“I did nothing today” is often how burnout, invisible labour, and emotional load get minimized.

For many women, especially those balancing caregiving, work, family, and personal growth, “nothing” can actually mean constantly showing up, holding things together, and carrying responsibilities that often go unseen.

Over time, this becomes a pattern of downplaying effort, disconnecting from your own needs, and moving through the day on autopilot.

When your capacity is stretched and your effort goes unacknowledged, it can impact stress levels, emotional wellbeing, and how you relate to yourself.

You deserve to recognize the weight of what you carry, and to be supported in it.

We understand how cultural expectations, family roles, and identity can shape this experience. You don’t have to hold it all alone. 🤍

Mental Health in High-Performance Spaces: Yorkville University Practice Forum

I’m grateful to Yorkville University for the invitation to join this fireside chat on mental health in high-performance environments. It was an honor to contribute to a space focused on advancing meaningful dialogue around clinical practice and the realities of working with high-performing individuals.

These are the kinds of discussions I deeply value, where we move beyond surface level understandings of performance and mental health, and explore how identity, pressure, and wellbeing intersect across high-performance contexts such as sport, business, healthcare, and the arts.

📚Read the full blog here: https://www.yorkvilleu.ca/blog/exploring-mental-health-in-high-performance/

And if you are planning workshops, panels, or speaking engagements centered on mental health and high-performance work, I would be glad to connect and be part of the conversation.

Do therapists therapize each other? 🤔

In small ways, yes.

But most of the time it just looks like us being people with each other. Talking, laughing, making keychains, and just sharing space in a way that feels easy and real.

We are therapists, but we are also just people who need connection, rest, and others we can feel comfortable with.

And honestly, we love the work we do, and we also really like the people we get to do it with.

At JPP, we care about how we show up for each other as a team. We try to build relationships that feel supportive, safe, and grounding. And in a way, we hope that same kind of care is what people feel when they come to work with us too. 💛
