Gather At The Well: Holding Fast + Staying Steady When You Need it the Most - Lindsey Fuller


Listen Later

How do we stay steady when we need it most?

In this episode of Gather At The Well, Lindsey explores what it means to hold fast — to your values, your purpose, and your inner knowing. Through grounding somatic practices, personal reflections, and the rhythms that keep her team at The Teaching Well aligned, she offers a framework for leading with clarity and care.

This episode is full of tools to help you slow down, tune inward, and lead from a place of steadiness. You’ll walk away with:

 🧘‍♀️ Somatic practices you can use in real time
 📅 Weekly, quarterly & annual rhythms for aligned leadership
 🔁 The “Keep, Stop, Start” framework for intentional reflection
 🫶 A reframe for what it really means to be resilient

Because holding fast isn’t about freezing — it’s about showing up, soft and steadfast, again and again. “You’re here in this moment. You’re holding fast.”✨
