478: Fighting Mental Fatigue
04/01/24 • 28 min
Where does mental fatigue come from, and how does it impact us? While a large portion of the fatigue is brought on through external influences, a not insignificant amount stems from our own actions. From failing to adhere to policies to taking on too much, we often burden ourselves more than others do. Today, we will break down why pet sitters deal with so much mental fatigue, its sources, and some simple steps to start taking to combat it.
Main topics
- Where it comes from
- When it gets the worst
- Ways to lessen
Main takeaway: Do what you need to reduce your worry. Find where your brain spends its time worrying, or thinking, and find ways to get a process in place, set boundaries, and fight for your personal life.

About our guest:
Meet Pet & Plant Pal's founder - me! With over 25 years of professional experience in plant and animal care, I have always been passionate about nurturing and caring for all living things.
Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to work in various farm care jobs, including teaching students with disabilities how to ride horses and appreciate farm life. I have also spent many years as a professional dog groomer, enjoying agility, conformation, and other dog sports.
My love for animals extends beyond dogs, as I have grown up with every kind of animal imaginable, from parrots to horses, cats, rabbits, and reptiles.
I started Pet & Plant Pal because I wanted to share my knowledge and expertise with people in their own homes. My goal is to provide the best possible care for both plants and animals, bringing my years of experience and love for these living things to every job.
At Pet & Plant Pal, we believe that every living thing deserves to be treated with respect and care, and we strive to provide that care to all of our clients.
