This episode is straight from our founder and leader, and she\u2019s sharing reflections and encouragement for anyone who\u2019s felt exhausted, uncertain, or overwhelmed by the weight of showing up for their community or business. It\u2019s lovely work, but it can also feel heavy and lonely, so if you\u2019ve ever felt that way, this episode is for you. In this episode, we cover: That your energy is a limited resource. Why it helps to stay in alignment with your internal values\/beliefs\/deeply held truths.  Why you don\u2019t need others to corroborate your experience. The freedom that comes with being the one doing the work and acting accordingly When to revisit your \u201cwhy.\u201d Sponsor Spotlight: Brodie Mueller and The Market on the Plaza In small towns, coffee is more than caffeine. It\u2019s community! Market on the Plaza roasts beans locally in Aberdeen, in small batches for the freshest, richest cup to start your day or for an afternoon pick-me-up. Stop in to grab a bag for home or linger over a cup with neighbors. Proudly local, always welcoming. This week\u2019s Small-Town Shout-Out is: Gregory, SD and also pickleball! Rochelle shares that they are really leaning into general quality of life initiatives, and pickleball is one of those. They\u2019re very excited that soon, their very own community will offer pickleball to its residents and we\u2019re excited for them! Way to go, Gregory! We Want to Hear From You!
