<p>Throughout the podcast, we've asked a consistent question: How can we raise the bar to make a positive difference in the communities in which we work? But collectively as we've all reached the end of our ropes, we're all really, stinkin' tired. And I'm starting to reject the idea of constantly needing MORE and BETTER. What if we allowed ourselves to be okay, just this once, being RIGHT HERE. And what if we allowed ourselves to lower the bar so that we could breathe, take up new hobbies, and be present with our families? What if we rejected the notion that the next role, the next agency, the next version of myself would make me *THAT* much happier. What if we STOPPED assigning so much worth as a human to our job title? There is so much more to us than WHAT we do - so I'm going to spend more time figuring how WHO I AM. I'm letting go of the things that don't light me up, in hopes of making more space and allowing more goodness to enter my life. I hope you do too. </p>
<p>This episode I get a little passionate as you might be able to tell, but I hope it gives you the courage you need to stop doing the things that don't light you up. You do amazing things, I love you, and until next time... Let's Talk Parks!</p>
