On today’s episode of Beyond Compassion Fatigue, we lighten things up a bit, while still keeping it real. We’re talking about humor as a coping skill in animal welfare, and why laughter is often a lifeline for those doing emotionally heavy work. Shoutout to Lisa for suggesting this topic!
We'll explore:
- Why humor helps

- When humor goes too far
- Using humor intentionally
