The Myton Hospices has launched its first podcast, Care Within Care, created to explore the unique emotional challenges faced by those working and volunteering in the hospice sector.

Hosted by Myton’s Employee and Volunteer Wellbeing Co-ordinator, Emily Young, and self-help author, Donna Higton, the podcast offers a compassionate and honest look at the pressures that come with caring for people towards the end of life, and how we can support those who do this vital work.

Each episode delves into topics such as burnout, grief fatigue, emotional resilience, and navigating boundaries in emotionally demanding environments. The podcast combines real-world insights with practical self-help tools, mindset strategies and stories from those on the frontline of hospice care.

This initiative is part of Myton’s ongoing commitment to prioritising the wellbeing of our people – providing accessible, meaningful support not just for our own staff and volunteers, but for anyone working in palliative care. Each episode is delivered in bitesize chunks to make it easier for busy people to access support whenever and wherever they need it.

Emily Young said:

I’m so excited about this brand new podcast, which is all about helping people working in hospice care to manage their wellbeing. At Myton, it is incredibly important that we support the emotional needs of our staff and volunteers – and this podcast is one way we’re doing that. We hope it will also provide support to people working in other hospices across the UK and beyond.

Donna Higton said:

It’s a real privilege to co-host this podcast alongside Emily and to offer something that supports the wellbeing of those who give so much to others. I’m particularly excited to bring my knowledge, expertise and background to the podcast – drawing on mindset tools, compassion-based practices and emotional resilience techniques to help people feel seen and supported in their everyday lives.

We know how rewarding it is to work in a hospice setting but also how challenging it can be at times – supporting our staff and encouraging self-care is vital. It is also an important part of being able to provide the best palliative and end of life care for our patients and their loved ones. By sharing these conversations and offering guidance on a range of topics, we hope to encourage more open dialogue and practical support across the wider hospice community.
