In It For the Long Haul
In It For the Long Haul: Overcoming Burnout and Passion Fatigue as Social Justice Change Agents | Kathy Obear
4 posts | 1 reading | 2 to read
In It for the Long Haul helps social justice change agents stop burning out and reclaim their energy to create meaningful change. Social justice change agents often feel exhausted and overwhelmed by the urgent need for change; yet, they can get stuck in hopelessness and despair. They are continuously running on empty, having to push themselves to keep going, afraid of burnout or slowly fading away from passion fatigue. Social justice change agent Kathy Obear almost dropped out of social change work several times in her career due to the depth of burnout and passion fatigue she experienced. In It for the Long Haul teaches other agents how to recognize warning signs of burnout and take better care of themselves. Through engaging stories and practical tips, Obear encourages agents to recommit to self-care so they can be of greater service and spark real change in the world.

1. Probably some vinyl by some inspirational woman artists
2. That I‘m good at my job that is all about making connections and I‘m open minded
3. I‘m proud that I‘m a working class woman who didn‘t do well at school who still manages to be curious and educate themselves and surprises people when they realise I never went to uni.

Weaponxgirl @batsy thanks,I still have lots of gaps and I know I don‘t do things properly in a lot of things due to the lack of formal education. I should also say it‘s only some people I surprise, I love throwing that bomb at them when someone thinks they have me figured out and are trying to pigeonhole me. 5y
Weaponxgirl @suzisteffen you are very welcome 😁 5y
