Listen "19. On Keeping Your Energy & Spirit Intact with Leslie Forde"
Episode Synopsis
Joining me on this episode of the podcast is Leslie Forde, founder of Mom’s Hierarchy of Needs, which researches and illuminates stress, self-care and growth for Moms, and founder of Allies @ Work, which helps employers use data to retain working parents and create inclusive workplaces where caregivers can thrive. Leslie is shedding the light on just how broken our current system is in supporting caregivers, both women and men, and offers great insights and tips for both companies and individuals to find a more sustainable way to achieve successful outcomes in both work and life.I could have talked with Leslie for a long time! And in this conversation she shares a lot of great advice for individuals, leaders, and companies to consider to help us all have a more sustainable work-life. Leslie shares how the solution doesn’t lie in working harder or just being ruthless about prioritization; we also need to be ruthless about carving out space for those things that feed us and regenerate us so our energy and spirit can be intact. I was thrilled to hear that Leslie is hearing progress from companies and an openness to changing corporate cultures to support “self care” and caregivers.Thank you for your important work, Leslie, and helping individuals, managers, and companies find the way towards more sustainable work-life happiness.
