Self-Care with Nina Simons

Self-care is the practice of taking action to preserve or improve one's own health. "Not a year of my life has missed a baptism by ocean, not one. Why this relationship between mother and water, breaking waters. We are born from what is fluid, not fixed. Water is essential, a mother is essential. The ocean as mother is mesmerizing in her power, a creative force that can both comfort and destroy." Terry Tempest Williams Nina Simons is Co-founder and Chief Relationship Officer at Bioneers, and leads its Everywoman's Leadership program. Throughout her career spanning the nonprofit, social entrepreneurship, corporate, and philanthropic sectors, Nina has worked with nearly a thousand diverse women leaders across disciplines, race, class, age and orientation to create conditions for mutual learning, trust and leadership development.  ​ She co-edited Moonrise: The Power of Women Leading from the Heart, and authored Nature, Culture, and the Sacred: A Woman Listens for Leadership—was released as a second edition in June 2022 with an accompanying discussion guide and embodied practices.  ​ Favorite snack includes lime and jalapeno flavored corn chips and dried golden berries.   LinkedIn Nina Simons Bioneers Facebook Instagram Music-"Homesick" Copyright 2018.
