Support work can be one of the most meaningful careers — but also one of the most draining.

When your job is to give so much of yourself, it’s easy to forget that you need care too.

🌿 Recognise the Signs
If you wake up already tired, or small things feel heavy — that’s not weakness. It’s your body asking for rest, not resignation.

💬 You Are More Than Your Job
You can love your work and still need distance from it. You can care deeply and still need space.

💜 Refill Your Own Cup
Plan small resets: walks, deep breaths, journaling, laughter. A five-minute recharge counts.

🌸 Reflect, Don’t Blame
You’re human. You give a lot. The fact that you even worry about doing well means you already care deeply.
