In this episode, I kick off a new series called Build Your House of Wellness. In this series, I ask each guest one question: How are you building your house of wellness?   My first guest is the incredibly talented and very humble, Nicole DeNamur. She’s an innovative teacher, award-winning author, and advocate for healthy spaces, not to mention a sustainability professional and attorney. Join us as we explore her "house" and discuss the power of mentorship, language, and our responsibility to advocate for a healthier built environment.  Check out all of the impactful work Nicole is doing at www.sustainablestrategiespllc.com where you can also find links to her online educational programming, including her Sustainable Strategies School, her medium series, and social channels.   For more information and to participate in the Build Your House of Wellness series, visit www.strategyforimpact.com/how.

Anyone can use it and I think you'll find it helps speed up the strategy planning process and writing actual content. I suggest using it with my free workbook which you can find here (https://jessicapayne.us/5steps) but you can also use it independently. Enjoy!

If you're stressed or overwhelmed, taking a step away from technology or social situations can really help. This Walk & Talk is a short exercise I invite you to put into regular practice when you feel a little off-balance or anxious. It helps me refocus especially given I work heavily in social media which can be both a toxic and rewarding place. Mental health is just as important as physical health, so don't be afraid to take a minute to center and come back strong! Like what you hear? Don't forget to subscribe!
