Are you burning out trying to make change and fight injustice? In this episode, I talk with Dorcas Cheng-Tozun about sustainable social advocacy and:  

• The six roles of social justice work 

• Why the extroverted activist ideal isn’t accurate or sustainable  

• Pacing yourself and taking time for rest to make more impact in your volunteer or nonprofit work
