02: Rest is a DEI Disruption Tactic
Manage episode 357141478 series 3396624
Are you doing DEI work and feeling perpetually exhausted?
Research shows that DEI leaders are experiencing record levels of burnout. We’re passionate about it and it’s hard work, so in a way that doesn’t seem surprising. But what if it could be different? What if it HAS to be different for our DEI work to really be effective?
In episode 2 of A Recipe for Transformation, Chrysta Wilson explains how disrupting grind culture is an essential part of DEI work, how that work begins in each of us, and how we can start to make those changes, highlighting:
- The need for reinforcing new, healthier behaviors to change our habits and our culture
- Why isolation is a key factor in DEI leadership burnout and how we can change that
- The “unsustainable YES” and the reality of staff capacity, mental and physical health, relationships and economic situation
- How to shift towards a lifestyle that honors our bodies and minds and creates a sustainable, balanced life
- Why we cannot do effective DEI work within grind culture; the paradigm of our relationship to self has to change simultaneously
"Here’s what I have learned as a recovered workaholic: I’ve learned that rest practice is easier when you do it with a community that also honors those practices.”
