I recently participated in a dynamic discussion at Marjorie Penn’s October Virtual Dinner Party, focusing on business growth and burnout. The conversation skillfully navigated stress and overwhelm, highlighting the therapeutic benefits of travel, even if just for a day trip. What stood out was the personal touch each participant brought, sharing relatable self-care strategies. The notion of travel as a tool to soften overwhelm resonated deeply, sparking a desire for more intentional travel in my life. The lighthearted use of filters on Google Meet added a delightful touch, showcasing camaraderie and emphasizing the importance of injecting fun into self-care practices. Sharing insights about our businesses provided a practical dimension, fostering mutual support and understanding amid experiences and challenges. While some sections could benefit from brevity, the overall experience was uplifting, informative, and enjoyable. Kudos to the depth of the discussion and the rare sense of community it fostered. Looking forward to more engaging discussions that blend practicality with camaraderie. Less
