   S02 E22. Existential Labour. The invisible and internal load of meaning-making for others.

   In this episode I unpack and reflect on something called "Existential Labour". I also touch on existential angst and emotional labour. I highlight that chaplains, pastors, therapist and perhaps even life coaches can suffer under prolonged exposure to unanswerable questions, mystery and meaning-making.
