Lately, I’ve been noticing a heaviness in the air. In conversations, with clients, even in myself. And I don’t think it’s because people have stopped caring, but because caring has started to feel heavy.
If you’ve been showing up for racial equity work with sincerity and your heart feels a little weary, this episode is for you.
I talk about the emotional weight that often comes with meaningful inclusion work, especially in a world where diversity, equity and anti-racism efforts are being challenged and misunderstood.
I share:
🎙 Why inclusion work feels different from any other part of business and why it can leave you feeling emotionally drained.
🎙 What Brené Brown’s research on empathy and compassion reveals about staying connected without burning out.
🎙 How the current backlash against DEI has added an unseen layer of pressure for those committed to this work.
🎙 Practical ways to keep showing up for inclusion with steadiness, integrity, and care.
This episode is a reminder that feeling weary doesn’t mean you’re falling behind, it means you’ve been showing up with your whole heart.
