8. Heart of Abundance: Nell Edgington x “Playing Big”
One of the most troubling trends among people who work for and in social change is the sense that you should not only do difficult (but rewarding!) work, but you should do it for scraps. It’s a mindset held by people in and outside of the movement, and it’s one of the reasons that it’s so hard to be a force for change. Today’s guest, Nell Edgington, wants to put an abundance mindset at the heart of social change. It’s time to embrace not just the change we want in the world, but also, the people who help shepherd it into the world.
