Episode 75: the helper

“It just doesn't occur to us not to meet a need until we are utterly exhausted, and our bodies or spirits start screaming. This is something I wish that people in my life understood.”

Hilary Davis is a hospital chaplain who enjoys helping people have what she calls "a good death," and who brings equal enthusiasm to her work fighting climate change. She's also an Enneagram 2, the type often called "the Helper," because they're quick to help those around them and to work with endurance to better this world. They're the unsung heroes of our world, whose greatest challenge is helping others at the expense of themselves.
