Hey Reader,

It’s hard to believe summer is almost over and year-end is just around the corner.

If you’re struggling to catch your breath as you brace for what’s next, you’re not alone.

I believe we’re experiencing collective anxiety—a shared feeling of unease, fear, and apprehension as we enter a new season of uncertainty and navigate this heavy moment.

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 key to skillfully navigating them lies in how we choose to respond.

Dharma teacher Kaira Jewel Lingo, in her book We Were Made for These Times, describes it this way:

The truth is, you’ve faced tough times before, and you have what it takes to get through again.

Your mission is still relevant. The need is still great. The work must continue despite setbacks. You have gifts and talents that the world needs right now.

You were made for this moment.

You are smart, strong, and brave.

Now is not the time to give up or give in. It's time to keep moving.

Keep doing the good work,

Meico

I’m here to help you embody what it means to truly thrive and know your well-being is your greatest asset.

As a workplace well-being strategist, I’m on a mission to help purpose-driven leaders rewrite the narrative of success. I believe that impactful work doesn’t have to come at the cost of your health or happiness, and I’ve made it my life’s work to show you how.

I’m the founder and CEO of Mindful Techie, author of How to Thrive When Work Doesn’t Love You Back and The Intention Planner, and a certified trauma-informed mindfulness teacher.

During my previous career in the tech, nonprofit, and government sectors, I experienced more than my fair share of burnout and overwhelm in the name of making a difference. As a recovering workaholic, I use what I’ve learned to help changemakers like you make an impact without self-sacrifice.

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.
