Redefining Acts of Service through Connection w— Amelia Hruby
“What are systems for collecting care and resources so that pouring back into those is just a part of how we live our lives?”
Can service be pleasurable? How do I take care of myself while caring for others? These questions often take center stage in our conversations about self-care, providing services, creating businesses and making change. In today’s episode, Amelia Hruby + Mary Grace unpack the relationship between our connections + service — how they inform one other + how they help us envision lives that are more in alignment with who we are.
