Description

How do you respond to uncertainty? How do we microdose wellness in the face of a macro event? 

In this episode, Lindsey offers a framework for navigating uncertainty with grounding, resilience, and a focus on collective care. You’ll hear the pitfalls of reacting versus responding, the power of trauma-informed practices, and the importance of prioritizing self-care before engaging with the world. It’s a roadmap for leaders and teams to weather any storm while staying true to their values and mission. Because in the end, the way to freedom is choosing each other, communicating and collaborating across differences, and staying resourced enough to access our innovation.
