It's About Being A Change Maker with Colleen Kelly

What we discussed: Colleen’s change-making work in the area of volunteerism, the non-for-profit sectorHow we traditionally interpret words like “volunteer” and “menopause” and why that must changeChoosing to compromise vs what we will never compromise on when it comes to our  life’s work How important paradigm-shifting language is for rethinking how we see the world The power of language and the words we use Continuing to do our work even when we know we won’t necessarily live to see the impactBeing forward-thinking enough to ensure there is a way for others to continue the work we’ve startedWe explore the language of being a changemaker and how it makes us feel to use words like paradigm shift, social construct, and rhetoric Why using phrases like “forest person” and “tree person” is a preferable way of describing big and small picture thinking How things may be difficult or hard, but they don’t have to be impossible. BIG thanks to the following for sharing my passion for women’s health:VICHYFerapro IronFeel Amazing Vulva & Vaginal MoisturizerIntimate WellbeingOh Boy Productions ©Menopause Chicks Join the Menopause Chicks Private Community on Facebook:👉 MenopauseCommunity.comThis is where thousands of women gather to learn evidence-based content and ask questions/seek clarity to inform their health decisions.SHARE THIS EPISODEIf this conversation resonated with you, please share it with three people: someone older, someone younger, and a peer.
