Wellness expert Serena Sabala shares powerful strategies for preventing burnout in the nonprofit sector, explaining why self-care isn't optional but mandatory for effective leadership and service.
Here are some key takeaways:
• Self-care is not optional but mandatory - you cannot give from an empty cup
• Health is easier to maintain than regain once lost, as illustrated by Serena's father's mental health breakdown
• Creating a wellness culture requires zero budget - start with healthy boundaries
• Leaders must model self-care behaviors, as staff mirror their actions
• The "tripod of optimal health" consists of three pillars: focus, food, and fitness
• American "hustle culture" often glorifies overwork at the expense of wellbeing
• Prevention through wellness practices costs far less than treating health conditions later
• Wellness retreats offer immersive experiences that plant seeds for lasting habit changes
