No. 1 Finding Your Sweet Spot in Sustainability
I’m so glad you’re here. I created Sweet Spot Sustainability to help sustainability professionals and climate leaders in the green building industry make a difference without burning out.
WHO IS THIS FOR?
This newsletter is made for green building professionals and climate leaders. If you want to lead in sustainability with more clarity, less overwhelm, and a rhythm you can maintain, you’re in the right place.
HOW I HELP
The Inner + Outer Sustainability Method
Sweet Spot is where we focus on the people side, which is how you thrive inside this movement. I believe the real work of sustainability happens on two levels:
Inner Sustainability:
How we nurture our well-being through nervous system regulation to create safety when we’re going out of our comfort zone, reset when we overexert ourselves and and stay connected to the joy of what we do - so we can keep going without fizzling out.
Outer Sustainability:
How we show up in the world by communicating clearly, navigating trade-offs, and influencing decisions so better outcomes are not just designed, but delivered.
You already have access to plenty of technical resources (and they’re great!) Here we talk about the human resistance to change that often stands in the way of sustainable solutions.
TOPICS WE'LL EXPLORE TOGETHER
Every two weeks I’ll share ideas, tools, stories, and experiments around:
Inner Sustainability – practices to stay grounded, calm, and resilient:
Understand your nervous system to find your natural rhythm
Cultivate joy and creativity that fuels your work
Move into action when overwhelm or fear has you stuck
Outer Sustainability – ways to make impact that actually lands:
How to navigate competing priorities
Turning technical insights into persuasive action
Delegate effectively to amplify impact without burning out
WHAT TO EXPECT
Each edition will include:
An Inner Sustainability insight to help you regulate your nervous system, shift your mindset, and support your well-being in the work you do.
An Outer Sustainability insight to level up your leadership, communication, or creative courage in your sustainability role.
Art I’m making that explores how creative practices fuel curiosity, harmony, and innovative thinking - often inspired by my own scribbles and paintings.
Reflection prompt to turn insights into action.
Finding my zen as a sustainability professional
There is a zen garden 5-min away from the office where I work as a sustainability consultant. I go there a few times a week, to reset my brain and reconnect with two things that fuel me - nature and art.
