    How Collective Well-being Reduces Burnout & Increases Resilience with Emily Santiago MS, LEP, NCSP

    Before we can lead a meaningful life rich with purpose and pleasure, we must, must, must prioritize our own mental & emotional well-being.
     
    In this episode, I chat with trauma-informed educational psychologist Emily Santiago and Founder of Center for Cognitive Diversity facilitated where I did my Reflective Supervision training, a large part of the framework for MTO’s Peer Conversation’s program. 
     
    Next Trauma-informed Peer Support training is Nov 14-15:

    In this episode:
    How stressful living has become so normalized, we don’t even recognize how much stress we experience
    Making big life decisions that support a healthier lifestyle
    Why more than self-care, we need Collective Well-being
    How “emotional capacity building” is so critical to employees but overlooked by employers
    Why there’s not enough therapists in the world to support everyone in need & how Refective Supervisors are a scalable solution for emotional well-being.
    How Peer Conversations™ offers the missing support teams and leaders need to gain emotional capacity and resiliency.
    (Note: this was recorded right before I moved to Austin & we discussed living in beautiful Ashland, Oregon.)

Intriguing Ideas

I found myself thinking about this podcast long after it had finished. Being in education, I found my mind constantly returning to the idea presented that Maslow’s hierarchy of needs may be incomplete. Looking forward to learning more about leading a pleasure filled life and using ideas derived from the process Gretchen describes to cope with a stressful work environment.
