In this week's EA meeting, Danie and Crystina reflect on the challenges of balancing personal well-being with their passion for community and building the podcast. We discuss burnout, mental health struggles, and the importance of setting boundaries while remaining true to their mission. Sadly, Empaths Anonymoys will be going on a hiatus to preserve our mental health and return refreshed.
