Joyful Activism (with Karen Walrond)

What do you think of when you hear the word activism? If your gut reaction was conflict or danger, you wouldn't be alone. But the act of working for change you believe in can be deeply joyful, restorative, and even straight-up fun. Asha talks with Karen Walrond, leadership coach, photographer, and author of “The Lightmaker’s Manifesto: How to Work For Change Without Losing Your Joy.” Asha and Karen share surprising discoveries about activism (including how accessible it can be), they explore the difference between happiness and joy, and they discuss simple ways each of us can embrace the lightmaker within.
