Welcome back to the Love Activist Luminaries podcast!
In this episode, I’m joined by self-care coach, Ayurvedic practitioner, and yoga teacher Steff Gallante.
Listen in as Steff shares her journey of dismantling harmful behaviors rooted in white supremacy and capitalism within her business, and offers actionable insights you can apply to your own life and work.
Learn how she disrupts harmful norms of productivity for herself and her clients.
Discover the sneaky mindset (that many of us have) that led her down the road of burnout, and the pivotal moment that made her realize she needed to change.
Hear about the liberatory practices that helped her beat burnout, create more caring relationships with herself and others, and increase creativity and innovation in her business.
This episode is a mini masterclass in how to beat burnout with simple, liberatory practices that help you feel good and feel greater fulfillment in life and work.
Steff’s story is a powerful reminder that when we honor our needs and practice patience and compassion for ourselves, we not only transform our own lives but also create deeper, more meaningful impact in the lives of our clients, communities, and the world.
As you listen, I invite you to ponder:
Am I bypassing my true needs by adhering to cultural norms of productivity that are actually causing me burnout, anxiety, a feeling of not-enoughness?
What small, intentional changes can I start doing to feel greater ease and fulfillment in my life and work?
What do I give myself permission to do to today feel more ease and enjoyment (e.g, rest, go more slowly, let go of something that’s draining me)?
I’d love to hear your thoughts!
