Creating workplace well-being for changemakers (new interview)


Hey Reader,

A few weeks ago, I was interviewed for a video series about the U.S. Surgeon General's Framework for Workplace Mental Health and Wellbeing.

I joined work systems engineer Dr. Katherine Sanders to discuss practical ways to enhance workplace well-being, especially during difficult times or when there isn’t 100% alignment with your values and your organization’s mission.

We also discussed frameworks and strategies from my book How to Thrive When Work Doesn’t Love You Back: A Practical Guide for Taking Care of Yourself While Changing The World.

If you or your team are struggling with workplace stress, overwhelm, or burnout, listening to this short interview is a great place to start for practical and accessible steps you can take right now no matter your level of influence or resources.

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.
