Burning out is unavoidable if you're not satisfied with the status quo. Here's a timely and honest conversation with two people who believe we all deserve better, leading projects and campaigns that seek to cultivate care, break apathy, and spark action for the issues we face as a Filipino and global community. Called 'changemakers', they talk about self-care while trying to be selfless, dealing with seemingly perpetual burnouts, seeing the bigger picture, and making peace with the responsibilities that come with their roles. In this episode, Anna Oposa (Chief Mermaid and Executive Director of Save Philippine Seas) and Patch Dulay (Founder and CEO of the Spark Project) debrief and share their thoughts and experiences that may be valuable for those who seek solutions to society's complex problems, as we question what it truly means (and costs) to be a changemaker.
