Janelle Miller Moravek","description":"How many times this month have you smiled through a day that was quietly wearing you down? Mission-driven work has a way of doing that to you. You care so much that you say yes to one more thing, then another, and then you realize you\u2019ve been running on fumes. You hold it together for your team, your board, your donors, and your family, and the one person nobody seems to check in on is you. Now picture doing all of that in a brand new role. A new board, a new team, a new list of expectations, and a quiet worry that somebody left out a few important details before you said yes. I talk with leaders in the nonprofit and helping professions all the time, and the same concerns keep coming up. Pay that never quite matches the work. Burnout that shows up earlier than anyone planned. The nagging feeling that nobody outside your world sees how much you carry. Janelle Miller Moravek is a nonprofit leader and mental health advocate who has served as Executive Director of Youth & Family Counseling in Lake County, Illinois since 2009. She joined me on The Ripple Effect Podcast to talk about how to step into a nonprofit role prepared. Janelle\u2019s advice on walking into a leadership role caught me off guard in the best way, and a couple of moments made me stop and rethink how I show up on my own hardest days.    More About the Guest Janelle Miller Moravek is a nonprofit leader and mental health advocate who helps families navigate a system that can often feel overwhelming.
