670. The Power of the Pause: A New Year Self-Sync + Reflection - Jon, Becky, and Lindsey Fuller
Listen to this episode
Overview
This episode is a year-end exhale.
Becky + Jon are joined by the incredible Lindsey Fuller for a cozy, heartfelt conversation as we gently close out 2025 and look toward a more grounded, intentional 2026. Together, we pause to reflect, breathe, and reconnect with what really matters.
Lindsey brings honest wisdom on navigating burnout, the constant noise of the world, and why hope and genuine community aren’t optional—they’re essential. You’ll hear what self-care actually looks like (hint: it goes way beyond bubble baths), plus a refreshing take on the messy-but-beautiful work of healing together.
Expect laughter, real talk, a few surprise shout-outs, and plenty of encouragement to step into the new year with clarity, intention, and peace. If you’re craving a reset—or just a reminder you’re not alone—this one’s for you 👊

The value of creating moments to pause and “self-sync” in order to recover from burnout
Practical strategies for prioritizing rest and managing mental load before returning to work

Powerful Quotes
"The next layer of belonging is, who are the people that are willing to say your name when you're not in the room?" - Lindsey Fuller
"So much of the work we're trying to do is about creating spaces where people feel seen and known — where they’re more than just a number. That’s the real work: are we recognizing our team members for their humanity, and extending that same care to everyone connected to our mission?" - Jon McCoy
"The planet does not need more successful people, but it does desperately need more peacemakers, healers, restorers and lovers of every kind." - Becky Endicott:
"Being yourself is the best thing you can bring to this moment. As we work to reduce noise in communication and elevate genuine reconnection, your willingness to show up vulnerably — just as you are — is what will truly get people to listen." - Becky Endicott
"We often blame burnout on our professional lives, but for me, so much of right-sizing the mental load comes from parenting, elder care, community responsibilities — and, honestly, the constant pressure of the word should." - Lindsey Fuller
"I think recovery, as a design principle, begins with asking: Where do I feel out of balance — out of harmony, depleted, overwhelmed, or overextended — and where do I still have agency within that?" - Lindsey Fuller
"What if we completely rewired our thinking — not just to say, ‘I’m going to take this time for myself,’ but to reject the guilt that tries to follow when we do?" - Becky Endicott
