We Are For Good Podcast - The Podcast for Nonprofits Gather At The Well: Holding Fast + Staying Steady When You Need it the Most - Lindsey Fuller
How do we stay steady when we need it most?
In this episode of Gather At The Well, Lindsey explores what it means to hold fast — to your values, your purpose, and your inner knowing. Through grounding somatic practices, personal reflections, and the rhythms that keep her team at The Teaching Well aligned, she offers a framework for leading with clarity and care.

🧘♀️ Somatic practices you can use in real time
📅 Weekly, quarterly & annual rhythms for aligned leadership
🔁 The “Keep, Stop, Start” framework for intentional reflection
🫶 A reframe for what it really means to be resilient
