Description

Most people have heard of burnout. Fewer recognize it as the deeper emotional exhaustion known as compassion fatigue—a condition that can affect anyone who spends their life caring for others. In this powerful episode of the Better Life for Animals Podcast, host Cheryl Moss sits down with Juliette Watt, an Emmy-nominated writer, former ATP pilot, and long-time animal rescuer, to explore what happens when caregivers hit their breaking point.

Juliette shares her incredible journey, from working at Best Friends Animal Society during Hurricane Katrina to finding healing through her deep bond with horses. Together, they discuss the emotional cost of animal sanctuary work, the importance of recognizing trauma, and how our third act in life can be filled with purpose and peace.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone working in animal rescue, caregiving, or advocacy—or anyone who has ever felt emotionally depleted from giving too much. It’s a reminder that healing is possible, and that sanctuaries save more than animals—they save people too.
