Episode Description:
Here’s what the fashion-textiles industry doesn’t want to admit: It’s not just extracting from the Earth and communities. It’s also extracting from you.
After burning out multiple times in this industry, I have understood: We cannot create regenerative systems from an extractive state.
In this episode, I share why over so many fashion-textile and sustainability professionals are burning out, and what I’ve learned about inner regeneration through my journey and after speaking to change-makers in our field.
We explore: → Why the extractive logic applies to change-work too.→ My personal burnout stories (industry + academia). → What I’m hearing from fashion-textile change-makers as their current biggest challenges. → Practical approaches for inner regeneration: + Energy sovereignty practices + Embodied knowing (spirit, heart, mind, body) + Connection to place + Vitality in collaboration with strategy + Your well-being IS part of your work
This isn’t about adding more to your plate. It’s about changing how you’re already doing things through micro, everyday practices that compound over time. This is where change emerges from.
Deep transformation requires embodying the change we seek—moving from extraction to regeneration INSIDE and OUT.
