Send us a text Today's practice is such a simple reflection, but is also really powerful and eye-opening when you notice those areas where you are feeling fatigue, and can identify what to do about it. Coral joins Jessica in this episode to conclude our three-part series on compassion resilience, by discussing the Compass Model for Wellness. Jessica shares her experience with this model, and a practice inspired by it that aids in assessing and improving resilience. The Compass Model, derived from the work of Dr. Scott and Holly Stoner, is comprised of four elements: heart, mind, spirit, and strength.

Send us a text This episode was the second in a series of three practicasts from 2024 centered around "holding space," a concept we learned from Heather Plett, author of "The Art of Holding Space." Our co-creator for this series was our OneOp colleague, Kristen Jowers. In this episode, Kristen shares two practices to help us prepare to hold space for someone experiencing grief. Some of the practices we recommend on this show are more quick and simple, and some take a bit more time, intention, focus and determination. "Holding Space" falls into the latter category. You can start working on it immediately, but it will take building the habit and muscle memory to really start seeing the impacts. Which is why we decided to republish this episode from a year ago, to check in with you on how you are doing with this practice, and give us all a chance to revisit it. We'll be back again next week with a brand new episode and fresh practice. Until then, keep practicing! We’d love to hear what’s inspiring you!
