This week’s “How She Finds Purpose” insight comes from Naaima Khan. She says –

“Take care of your spiritual self first. Really ground yourself in what anchors you from your principles, whether it's tied to a specific spiritual practice or not, whether it's informed by a community or not. But I think wherever you're able to find and kind of tap into that spiritual base and keep it well and keep your heart well, and I'm not just talking about the physical exercise of the heart, which is also very important, but just the emotional state of the heart, like a peaceful heart. Being able to tend to creating that peaceful heart is going to be really central to doing work that is sustainable.”
