Podcast Recap: How do you take care of yourself while changing the world?

Published over 1 year ago • 1 min read

​

Hey Reader—quick question: how do you take care of yourself while changing the world?

Seriously, how? And, no, it's not a trick question!

It's something that's been on my mind a lot over the past few months as I've engaged in a series of conversations with everyday changemakers about how to care for ourselves while doing important work in times of uncertainty, loss, and disruption.

These conversations resulted in the first season of the Dear Mindful Changemaker podcast, which wrapped up a few weeks ago.

Thank you to all the guests, supporters, and producer extraordinaire Courtney Hinton for making it possible!
