Episode 13 - Managing Your Energy, Avoiding Burnout

In this episode [recorded prior to COVID-19 outbreak], Karen and Kel talk about the Energy Project, and how to build different kidns of capacity: physical, mental, and spiritual. Even though we don't speak directly about COVID-19 in our conversation, what we're talking about does apply to life in a global pandemic! You can't do cognitive work without a solid physical and spiritual foundation, and we all need to search for that right now. What do we mean by "spiritual"? Finding meaning in what we do.
