Dimple Dhabalia advocates for prioritizing well-being through storytelling, offering frameworks for individuals and organizations to heal while maintaining impactful service. The book emphasizes shifting workplace cultures to support sustainable humanitarian efforts.

Who should read *Tell Me My Story*?

This book is essential for humanitarians, nonprofit leaders, social workers, and caregivers grappling with burnout or institutional betrayal. It also resonates with anyone navigating high-stress, purpose-driven careers seeking strategies to balance service with self-care. Dhabalia’s insights are particularly relevant for organizational leaders aiming to foster trauma-informed workplaces.

Is *Tell Me My Story* worth reading?

Yes—praised as a “masterpiece of empathy” and award-winning title, *Tell Me My Story* provides actionable steps to address systemic issues in mission-driven fields. It combines personal anecdotes with evidence-based frameworks, making it a vital resource for those seeking to reconcile service with personal well-being.

What are the main concepts in *Tell Me My Story*?

Key ideas include: - **Moral injury**: The psychological toll of compromising values in service roles. - **Institutional betrayal**: Organizational failures to protect employees’ well-being. - **Duty of care**: Redefining responsibility to prioritize staff health. - **Storytelling as healing**: Using narrative to process trauma and rebuild resilience.

How does *Tell Me My Story* address burnout?

Dhabalia critiques the martyrdom culture in humanitarian work, advocating for systemic changes like flexible workloads, mental health resources, and leadership accountability. She emphasizes individual practices such as boundary-setting and reflective storytelling to mitigate exhaustion.

What quotes define *Tell Me My Story*?

- **“Service doesn’t have to come at a cost”**: Rejects the sacrifice narrative, urging sustainable practices. - **“The path of service is an invitation to heal”**: Reframes service as a journey of personal and collective growth. - **“Them or me?”**: Highlights the false dichotomy between self-care and service.

How does *Tell Me My Story* compare to other burnout recovery books?

Unlike generic self-help guides, Dhabalia integrates memoir with actionable organizational strategies, focusing specifically on humanitarian sectors. It complements works like Brené Brown’s *Dare to Lead* but adds unique insights into institutional trauma and global service contexts.

The Call to Service

00:00

I've always been drawn to helping others. It's a calling that many of us feel - this desire to make a difference in the world. For twenty years, I worked in humanitarian aid, dedicating my life to serving refugees and asylum seekers. I thought I was living my purpose, doing meaningful work that mattered. But over time, I began to realize the toll this work was taking on me. We're often told that service requires sacrifice. That to truly help others, we must put their needs before our own. It's a noble ideal, but one that can lead us down a dangerous path. As I traveled the world, bearing witness to trauma and human suffering, I slowly lost pieces of myself. I pushed aside my own needs, ignoring the signs of burnout and vicarious trauma. I thought this was simply the price of doing good in the world. But what if there's another way? What if the path of service could be one of healing and growth, not just for those we help, but for ourselves as well? This book is an invitation to challenge the narrative of "service before self" and explore a more sustainable, human-centered approach to making a difference.
