Notas del episodio

This week I'm celebrating 50 episodes of Resourced and Resourceful Leadership, and marking this milestone has me reflecting on what this whole experiment has been about. In this solo episode, I take you through the winding path that led me to a story credited to Thich Nhat Hanh, about a father and daughter in the circus who learn that taking care of themselves individually is actually what allows them to take care of each other. I share where I'm at in a particularly full season of life, taking on an interim executive director role, parenting, seeing clients, getting ready to travel, and how (and why) I'm practicing self-care in the middle of it,
