For the first two years of the pandemic, it felt like every group I was a part of wanted to talk about self-care and burnout. Some of those discussions were helpful, and many reinforced tunnel vision and a general air of despair. At New Roots Institute, we have reflected extensively on this David Whyte quote: “The antidote to exhaustion is not rest: it's wholeheartedness. ” At our last staff retreat, we had whole team conversations about wholeheartedness. 🌿 How do you feel when an action you take comes from a place of love? 🌿 How do you feel when an action you take comes from a place of fear (or obligation)? 🌿 How do you know when you’re acting out of love? Out of fear? 🌿 How might this frame help orient us toward “self-care”? 🌿 Why might reframing like this be important? Why does framing matter?  🌿 How are ideas of self-care and burnout often not helpful? I know what it's like to do work out of obligation and, in contrast, from a place of wholeheartedness. Understanding the difference between fulfilling duties and pursuing goals with authentic enthusiasm has been instrumental in shaping my approach both personally and professionally. This week, I look forward to hearing more about creating a culture of care to reduce burnout in our shared movement, in a discussion hosted by Jo Anderson, Eva Hamer, Kimberly Carroll, and Ben Newman at The Animal & Vegan Advocacy (AVA) Summit! Check out their discussion from 3:30 - 4:45 pm on Friday (5/17), and be sure to stick around to dive into fundraising for small nonprofits in a discussion hosted by Brooke Haggerty, Ana Bradley, and me right after! https://lnkd.in/gQW8Yy8B Faunalytics Pro-Animal Future Animal Justice Animal Rising Sentient

We at Animal Ask are super-excited to present our latest research report, that we expect will add to the ongoing conversation about this relevant topic: Choosing Tactics: Evidence from Social Movement Theory.

So, what do animal advocates think about cultivated meat? 🤔🌱 At AVA, we love engaging with our #community on groundbreaking topics—and cultivated meat is no exception! 📈 You may remember that we recently surveyed #animal #advocates to explore their perspectives on this #revolutionary #innovation, and here’s what we discovered from 290 respondents: 🔹 The majority is FOR it! 🙌 Many of you see cultivated meat as a key step in bridging the gap between advocacy and mainstream acceptance. 🔹Overwhelmingly, respondents want to see cultivated products showcased at AVA Summits. 🚀 🔹From "It’s the future!" to "It’s not for me, but I see the value," your voices reflect the #complexity of our movement. Your feedback shapes how we approach these topics at our events, and how we make choices surrounding food options, in-kind sponsorship donations, and more. 🤝🏾 ✨ Whether you're for it, indifferent, or still deciding, we appreciate the passion and thoughtful insights you took the time to share.

AI can be pretty cool 😉 Here's my 2024 LinkedIn Rewind powered by Coauthor: 2024 proved that when you align your words with your values, transformation follows. When I joined Fundraise Up, I found a way to turn my love of writing into meaningful impact. From helping nonprofits improve their fundraising to supporting animal welfare initiatives, every word became a catalyst for change. Key moments from 2024: • Earned three NonprofitReady certifications to deepen sector expertise • Expanded fundraising impact for the Purple Leash Project • Strengthened support for The Southeastern Cave Conservancy Looking ahead: 2025 is about expanding nonprofit impact through strategic content while continuing to champion animal welfare and environmental causes. Because every word can spark transformation when it serves a greater purpose 🚀

Whether it's addressing global poverty, improving animal welfare, or mitigating existential risks, effective altruism offers a framework for making informed, compassionate decisions. Let's explore how we can collectively contribute to a better future. What are some of the most promising areas for effective altruism to focus on, in your opinion? #effectivealtruism #philanthropy #socialimpact #globalgood #evidencebased #makeadifference
