Community organizers of all kinds are feeling the weight of the world on their shoulders right now. It’s extremely challenging to have to balance the crucial work of organizing your community while also being mindful and intentional about taking care of yourself. Without striking a balance, burnout is inevitable, and we strive for a world where the essential social justice work that organizers do can be both sustainable and durable.
Burnout. We all feel it, and it’s time to end the cycle of feeling overwhelmed and exhausted. Instead of asking us to ignore the very real obstacles and societal pressures that stand between women and well-being, this book explains with compassion and optimism what we’re up against—and show us how to fight back. With the help of eye-opening science, prescriptive advice, and helpful worksheets and exercises, all women will find something transformative in these pages—and will be empowered to create positive change.
