In this episode of Don't Be Caught Dead, we dive deep into the often-avoided topic of death, grief, and the importance of compassion in navigating these challenging experiences. Join me as I chat with Dr Hayley D Quinn, an anti-burnout business coach and former clinical psychologist, who shares her insights on how compassion can transform our relationships with ourselves and others, especially during times of loss.

Dr. Hayley opens up about her journey from burnout to empowerment, highlighting the significance of self-compassion and the three flows of compassion: from ourselves to others, from others to ourselves, and the often-overlooked self-compassion. We discuss how these elements play a crucial role in both personal and professional realms, particularly for women entrepreneurs who often juggle multiple responsibilities.
