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: "One of the things that can make navigating times of transition and challenge even more difficult is when we resist the changes coming at us or we think there’s something wrong with our life, or with us, when the road gets bumpy. We may believe that life is not supposed to be this way. That if we plan and prepare carefully enough, or act in a meticulously organized fashion, or follow all the rules, we can stay in control and our life circumstances will remain smooth and predictable. But transition and challenge are a part of life." 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 About MeicoI’m Meico Marquette Whitlock. Imagine a world where leaders and teams don’t just grind through the day but thrive in their work, without sacrificing their well-being. That’s the world I’m working to create. 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. I partner with mission-driven organizations to create cultures where belonging, balance, and purpose take center stage. In a world full of burnout and overwhelm, I help you navigate life, work, and technology in harmony. 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. I have worked with organizations such as the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Cigna, and Greenpeace, and have been a featured speaker on ABC News, Fox 5, and Radio One. I'm also a former triathlete, love salsa dancing, and make the world’s best vegan chili! :-) Are you ready to optimize your well-being and elevate your well-doing? Let’s get started!
