Running on urgency? This one’s for you.
In this guided meditation, Sonya — a human development and performance expert who’s spent her own time in the nonprofit trenches — invites you to pause, breathe, and let your nervous system shift into rest-and-digest mode.
Rest is a skill, just like fundraising or board development. It gets stronger with practice. And it’s okay if it feels uncomfortable at first. Give yourself permission to be bad at it, and keep coming back.
On the other side of the pause: more creativity, more clarity, and maybe even a little joy in the work. You are enough. You are supported. You are worthy of rest. 🫶
Keep the pause going:
ImpactUp: Pause 2026 - Our global gathering for changemakers to find power in the pause and talk about mental health together. Powered by Givebutter, Whiteboard, Jitasa, and GivingTuesday.
The Monthly Reset - Join Sonya each month for a community gathering to slow down, breathe, and refuel together.
