Hey Reader, Life feels like a bumpy ride lately, doesn’t it? The past season has been intense while fighting for change in a world that so often resists it. For many of us, this has been one of the hardest seasons of our lifetimes. With shifting budgets, layoffs, policy changes, and bracing for the next shoe to drop, it’s been challenging to ground yourself in what seems like a groundless world. What you’re experiencing is likely complicated by our collective anxiety or a shared feeling of unease, fear, and apprehension as we usher in a new season of uncertainty and navigate the heaviness of this moment. But despite challenges, setbacks, and unknowns, your mission is still critical. The need is still great. The work must continue. Justin Su’a, who shared his reflections on speaking with an airline pilot about navigating turbulence, puts it this way: “Turbulence is completely normal. It might feel like the plane will fall apart, but it’s built for that. The best thing to do during turbulence is to just keep flying.” Like planes, we’re designed to withstand tough times. You have gifts and talents that the world needs right now. You were made for this exact moment. That’s why I'm offering a new series to help you not only survive, but thrive during this season of intense change and uncertainty. The details:
This series is for mission-driven professionals seeking support with navigating stress, uncertainty, and change while staying focused on what matters most.

As a workplace well-being strategist, I’m on a mission to help purpose-driven leaders rewrite the narrative of success.

I partner with you to create strategies and deliver programs that help your team scale impact while sustaining the right balance between life, work, and technology in today’s changing world.

The harsh reality is there’s never a "right" time for change, disruption, or challenges. But they are a natural part of life and work. The...
Hey Reader, Given the state of the world, I’ve been reflecting a lot on the nature of change. During the 2016 election, I was the communications lead for an association focused on ending HIV and hepatitis. There was the initial shock by many as the results were confirmed. Shock turned to anxiety and fear of funding cuts, program rollbacks, and the undoing of hard-fought progress. Then a sobering reality set in. The need for our work was still immense, and the work needed to keep moving...
