What a realization

Rebrand loading...

We’re gearing up for season three of Inner Warmup, which launches in June. The seasonal format has been an incredible gift for my well-being and creativity.

As part of the season, I interviewed Rose Hackman, the author of Emotional Labor. I expected our conversation to be about how we needed to do less emotional labor, but my core takeaway was that we must value emotional labor more, as individuals and as a larger society.

My negative bias towards emotional labor belied an internal struggle I’ve had for over a year at this point.

I’ve wanted to be seen as more than the self-care and well-being person because I didn’t truly value the emotional labor I offered through Inner Workout, nor did I think I’d be respected and valued if my career consisted of “just” helping people take better care of their selves.

What a realization.

And it couldn’t have come at a better time.

I spent summer 2019 working on the first iteration of Inner Workout, a practice that helped people build the skill of self-care,

Four years later, I’m working on the next iteration of Inner Workout.

A rebrand fueled by radical self-honesty, four years of data, and the newly-integrated belief that the work of supporting well-being is valuable. It’s what I’m here to do.

As I work through this rebrand, I’m returning to the business basics, the unsexy stuff that most business owners would rather skip. But we’re not skipping these steps, mkay? We’ll walk through them together in the final process reports.
