In this powerful episode of Own Your Piece, I sit down with my longtime friend and nonprofit leader Ashley Stallings to talk about something every helper needs to hear: burnout.
Ashley spent the last decade building a child advocacy center, supporting families through some of the hardest moments imaginable. But along the way, she faced the very real challenges of compassion fatigue, secondary trauma, and burnout. Her story of healing, boundary-setting, and launching her new platform, Audibly Ashley, is a must-listen for anyone in the helping professions.
If you’ve ever felt drained by the work you love, or you’re wondering how to prevent burnout in nonprofit or caregiving roles, this conversation will inspire and empower you to protect your energy and keep your passion alive.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
- The hidden culture of overwork in helping professions (and why it’s time to flip the script).
- Ashley’s journey from 24/7 burnout to renewed purpose.
- Practical strategies for preventing burnout and compassion fatigue.
- The power of saying “no” so your “yes” has more value.
- How grounding, energy healing, and simple daily practices can restore your soul.
- Tips for anyone dreaming of starting a nonprofit.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
