The Kettle with Meagan FrancisMay journal: generosityHello friend,Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve given eleven livestreamed interviews and three or four (or was it five?) podcast interviews. I’ve been on TV twice, done two in-person signing events and have two more coming this weekend. And my book has only been out for nine days.

When the Flames Go UpEpisode 18: "Trust you'll handle the tough stuff, and look forward to the good stuff."A lot has happened since Karen Walrond published The Lightmaker’s Manifesto in 2021. For one, we’ve all aged—which is nothing new. We’ve been doing that since the day we arrived. It’s just at this point in our midlives that we seem to notice it more.Karen’s research in her new book, Radiant Rebellion, establishes that we’ve been trained to fear getting older since our mid-20s, mostly to replenish the job market and sell hair dye.

The Unburdened LeaderEP 42: Leading By Owning Your Activism with Karen WalrondIf you are a leader who embodies activism, you are moved by personal convictions that see beyond yourself and the bottom line. You boldly desire to make intentional change that will impact another person, your family, where you work, our planet.When activism is seen as a negative word, it supports the status quo. Making activism negative plays upon your fears being misunderstood or being seen as too much, too disruptive.And it is easy to respond to these fears by quickly defaulting into silence or complacency.2021-12-171h 02
