43. The Hidden Weight of HR: What Happens When People Who Care for Everyone Stop Feeling Safe
Feeling the weight of holding it all together in HR? What if your exhaustion isn’t just stress... but accumulated trauma?
HR fatigue is real, and it’s quietly burning out the people at the heart of our workplaces. In this solo episode, I talk about the emotional weight of being the organisational shock absorber, and why traditional HR models are no longer sustainable for many of us.
You’ll hear why exhaustion in HR goes deeper than just being busy, what people fatigue really looks like, and how it connects to imposter syndrome and moral distress. I’ll also share practical tools you can start using this week, like the courageous check-in, boundary setting with bravery, and how to build structural safety around you.
This episode is a reminder that you’re not just the caretaker of culture. You are part of it. And you deserve to feel safe, seen and supported, too.
What’s one thing you can do this week to feel safer in your HR role? Say no? Ask for help? Or maybe take a breath before you break?
Let me know, and if this resonated, share it with another HR peer who might need to hear it too.
