The Resilience Within S3E4 W/ Lesley Ramsey - Community Care is Self-Care

Lesley Ramsey believes that self-care is community care, and also that community care is self-care. She shares how as an activist she found herself in burnout because of the demand of urgency that didn’t allow time for personal needs, including grieving the loss of her mother. She finally took a year off and went on the road with her mom’s dog, where she realized she wanted to help others in the nonprofit world change the culture of self-neglect and burnout. She wants to spark the notion of self-care as a necessary part of the day, so she founded BeCause Yoga. Hear more about her mission here.

Bio: Lesley currently manages the Yoga Studio and Art Gallery at MBS Fitness, and founded BeCause Yoga to bring the healing tools of yoga to artists, activists, educators and nonprofit professionals working to make our communities spaces of love, compassion, dignity, equity and respect. She writes grants for Musical Bridges Around the World and Anuja SA, the organizers of Diwali SA Festival of Lights.
