[PODCAST] A New Outlook For The New Year: Escaping the Busy Trap – Kishshana Palmer

A New Outlook For The New Year: Escaping the Busy Trap

As we kick off a new year, it’s time to reimagine what healthy, sustainable leadership can look like. In this refreshed conversation, author, consultant, and recovering fundraiser Kishshana Palmer joins Meghan Speer to explore why “busy” is the four-letter word holding so many nonprofit leaders back. Kishshana unpacks the personal wake-up call that led her to redefine success, why rest must be a non-negotiable, and how leaders can model wellbeing for their teams without losing credibility. From setting boundaries to choosing one meaningful wellness domino to tip the rest, this episode is an invitation to step out of the frantic pace and step into a year marked by clarity, capacity, and care—for yourself and your people.
