Burned Out, Not Broken: The Cost of Caring Too Much | Exploring Social Impact and Activism

Outreach With Reggie | Community Advocacy & Mental Health by Reggie Holloway | Community Advocacy & Mental Health

Episode notes

What happens when those most dedicated to social impact and activism are overwhelmed by the weight of systemic challenges? In this episode of Outreach with Reggie, we confront the deep-rooted burnout experienced by advocates and helpers within social justice movements. This isn't the surface-level exhaustion fixable by quick remedies, but the profound moral fatigue from repeatedly showing up for broken systems and vulnerable communities.

Reggie shares firsthand accounts from the Georgia State Capitol, highlighting how an $85 million budget deficit in Georgia DFCS led to severe service cuts affecting foster care children, including vital sibling visitation transportation. Through testimonies by advocates, nonprofit leaders, and individuals with lived experience, we explore how these cuts reflect broader social justice struggles.
