Welcome

Hi, I’m Sarita Hartz

Author / Podcaster / Compassion Fatigue Therapist

At twenty-four, I moved alone to a conflict zone in northern Uganda as a global worker. Six months turned into six years as I founded a nonprofit serving women and children who had survived sex trafficking, as well as Congolese refugees. I loved my work and gave everything I had to it, but the cost of caring was burnout. During re-entry, I experienced depression and felt like I had failed. But there was so much more life waiting for me.

If you’ve loved the world and found yourself exhausted, needing somewhere to exhale—I’m glad you’re here.

As I recovered and healed from burnout and adrenal fatigue, I learned to offer myself some of the care I’d been giving away. I believe God wants us whole in mind, body, and spirit, so we can give out of overflow. I want to offer you the empathetic care I wish I’d received on the field and on returning to the States.

Through my ebooks, self-care resources, and life coaching, I’ve helped thousands of people make room for their own needs while serving others or caring for their families. I write about faith, missions, motherhood, and serving with self-compassion.

Whether you’re serving on the field, finding your footing upon return, or carrying the mental load at home, you’ll find honest stories and practical tools in a safe community where you can learn to care for others without losing yourself.
