Frontline workers are carrying more than anyone realizes — and far more than most workplaces are prepared to support. In Part 2 of this workplace wellness series, Marcia speaks directly to first responders, DV advocates, law enforcement staff, crisis workers, public safety teams, and the quiet administrative professionals who hold entire systems together.

You protect other people daily — but who protects you?

In this episode, we explore the real internal and organizational barriers that impact your mental well-being, including:

• Whether your workplace penalizes or incentivizes taking care of yourself

• If wellness is truly integrated into the culture — or treated like a “bonus” feature

• How leadership shapes (or sabotages) the wellness environment

• The emotional, physical, and psychological toll of being the one everyone depends on

• The cost of compassion fatigue, vicarious trauma, and chronic exposure to crisis

• What real workplace wellness should look like, especially in protective roles

This is honest, necessary talk for people who often feel invisible, undervalued, or expected to “power through” no matter what the job demands.

If you’re in a role that requires strength, steadiness, and emotional labor — this episode was created for you.

🎧 Listen in, breathe deep, and remember: your wellness matters just as much as the people you serve.
