Empathy Overload: How Caring Too Much Fuels Anxiety

Jaime Filer Season 3 Episode 4

In this episode of Monday Morning Mindset Shift, we explore the surprising link between empathy and anxiety. While empathy connects us and deepens our relationships, it can also weigh us down and trigger anxiety, especially for those who already struggle with stress. Tune in as we break down the science behind this “empathy overload,” explain why setting emotional boundaries is essential, and share practical strategies to care deeply without feeling overwhelmed. If you’re someone who “feels it all,” this episode is a must-listen for preserving your peace while keeping your compassion intact.
