The Importance of Rest, Joy and Community in Leadership

I've been spending a lot of time just thinking about the critical importance of rest, joy and community in sustaining any kind of leadership work. I think that systems of oppression and dominance really require folks who want to work against them to be exhausted and unhappy and disconnected. It's something that we are often sort of seen as frivolous or not really necessary. And so, so I've really been focusing a lot more in the various kinds of work I get to do with leaders on the idea of really centering those three things as being quite important to prioritize.
