On the latest episode of Nonprofit Lowdown, I had the absolute pleasure of speaking with Dr. Dee Frayne (aka Dr. D), a life + business coach and former nonprofit exec who gets it. We went deep on what it means to burn out in a sector that’s often under-resourced, under-supported, and powered by people who care way too much to quit… until we’re forced to.
We talked about:
✨ Why the nonprofit world can feel like a parking lot for potential change-makers
✨ How martyrdom and hustle culture are literally making us sick
✨ What it really looks like to lead with integrity (hint: it includes rest)
✨ Why selflessness is a trap — and how to create space for joy, boundaries, and sustainability
“There’s no medal for suffering.”
If you’ve ever skipped meals, ignored your own needs, or run yourself ragged in the name of “the mission” — please give this episode a listen.
This one is for us. The helpers. The givers. The change-makers who want to do it differently — and better.
