Mindful and Ethical Leadership Post Burnout — with Natalie Fée of City to Sea

Natalie Fee is an award-winning founder of City to Sea and 3 times author with a new book just out called “Do Good Get Paid”. 

Today, we’re back-peddling all the way to November 2017.

Natalie had been running City to Sea for 2 years at this point, and was going hard. 

She was

• Being paid 2 days a week, and volunteering the rest
• Navigating the pressures of doing a TED Talk
• In the midst of a breakup  that required her to move house

The signs of stress were beginning to show, but in an effort to keep campaigning, she pushed on. Until her body couldn’t anymore. 

Natalie embraces being a mindful person. But in the workplace, she was driven by action.

And this was her wake up call to do things differently.

In our conversation, Natalie reflects on the progress of the business since her burnout and the dichotomy of being mindful in and out of working environments.

We talk a lot about

• Different ways you can integrate more present approaches to working
• Managing workload with life expectations
• Appreciating your successes

Natalie’s journey is a powerful reflection of just how turbulent founder life can be. 

And a valuable message that you can still be successful, while things are a work in progress!
