Gather At The Well: Re-Entry Without the Burnout: Return from Rest with Rhythm, Not Rush - Lindsey Fuller

We Are For Good Podcast - The Podcast for Nonprofits

We know that gut-punch feeling when your time off ends and the peace you just earned starts draining away before Monday even hits. We've all been there. 

Here’s the thing: Returning to work shouldn't feel like a rush that undoes your rest.

This week Lindsey is pulling back the curtain on how she makes rest non-negotiable, even after a big pause like an eight-week micro sabbatical. She's not just sharing ideas; she’s giving you the blueprint to design a mindful reentry, a process that is actually a nourishing ritual. Listen as she grounds her approach in the theme of Recovery as a Design Principle, sharing concrete examples from her own eight-week micro sabbatical to show you how to truly honor your rest instead of undoing it.

It’s time to move past rigid "work-life balance" and embrace Work-Life Integration, designing flow that honors your mission and your humanity, choosing rhythm over rush. 

Episode Highlights: 

  • Lindsey’s Personal Approach to Returning After a Break (01:40)
  • Five Key Re-Entry Rituals for Sustainable Return (06:28)
  • Grounding Yourself: Jill’s 54321 Somatic Practice (10:08)
  • Using the Parasympathetic System to Rest in Motion (12:22)
  • Shifting from Work-Life Balance to Work-Life Integration (16:00)
  • Actionable Homework for Designing Your Re-Entry (21:46)
  • Reflective Journaling and Affirmations for Integration (22:07)
