How to Take Care of Yourself While Changing the World


Hey Reader,

I know you have a lot on your plate in this season of intense change and uncertainty. So, if you're struggling with how to get grounded for yourself or your team, you're in good company.

Maybe you're wondering how can mission-driven professionals sustain their well-being and avoid burnout while making an impact?

Or how can you recognize the red flags of burnout in yourself, your coworkers, and your boss, and what steps can you take to address them?

I addressed these questions in my talk about "Creating Well-Being While Well-Doing: How to Take Care of Yourself While Changing the World" at the Mindful Leader Summit.

I walked through a simple framework and practical strategies for navigating burnout, staying connected to purpose, and integrating well-being into daily routines, including:

  • The Mindful Changemaker Spheres of Impact
  • The Six C.H.A.N.G.E. Commitments for Well-Being While Well-Doing
  • Shifting from Interest to Commitment

If you're struggling with navigating this season, I invite you to check out the replay.

Send good vibes your way!

Hey Reader, I hope you’re holding up well. I know it’s a busy and intense season. During times like this, many of us think the best way to make an impact is to work longer, harder, and try to get as much “work” done as possible. Otherwise, we feel like failures or that we aren’t doing enough. But real and lasting impact happens when we take time to rest, recover, and refocus.
