We've all been taught to hide our failures, polish them over, keep the highlight reel going, pretend we had it figured out the whole time. That's exactly what's keeping us stuck.

Here is a reminder we don't hear enough in this field: failing doesn't determine your value. Getting something wrong doesn't determine your worth as a person or as a leader.

Public health doesn't leave much room for imperfection. We're expected to have the answer, to look put-together, to lead like we've never gotten it wrong. But growth doesn't come from avoiding failure. It comes from what we do after it. The mistake isn't proof you're not cut out for this. It's often the exact thing that shapes you into the leader you're becoming.

If you've been carrying a failure like it defines you, or holding yourself to a standard of perfection no one could actually meet, this conversation is worth your time. Failure is not final.

What if we've been doing public health leadership all wrong?

In this episode, we're turning the tables! I'm sitting at the mic as a guest on the Region 4 Public Health Training Center's Leading Public Health podcast to unpack what leadership actually looks like in public health right now. Not the old top-down, credentials-first version, but something rooted in self-awareness, vulnerability, and community as our compass.

I'm getting brutally honest about what it means to lead in environments that feel less "high stakes" and more just plain hostile: shrinking departments, disappearing funding, jobs that don't feel stable anymore. And I name the thing most of us won't say out loud: that we've been taught to martyr ourselves for "the greater good," and that's not noble. That's extraction. That's why we're burned out and nearly ready to give it all up.

What does effective leadership actually require now? Clarity in chaos, strategic rest, distributing leadership instead of hoarding it, and doing the internal work first; because you cannot give what you do not have. Let me remind you that how you treat yourself is a mirror for how you'll treat your team, and that healthy leaders are the ones who build teams that can actually sustain the work.

This conversation is part of a special series, and I'm so glad to bring it to you here on The Public Health Joy Podcast. Whether you're leading a team, holding a department together, or just trying to figure out how to lead yourself well first, this episode meets you there.

One thing is clear: leadership isn't about who's at the top. It's about who's willing to change, share power, and create space for everyone to do their best work. Tune in now on Apple Podcast and Spotify! πŸŽ™οΈ

Imagine logging into a space and immediately feeling seen.

Not performing. Not code-switching. Not shrinking yourself to fit into a room that wasn't built for you.

Just seen.

Imagine getting feedback on your work from peers who share your values. Imagine having somewhere to put the weight of this field that doesn't require you to explain why representation in research matters or justify why rest should be part of the plan.

Imagine being part of a community that celebrates your wins without minimizing them.

That troubleshoots your methods section AND checks in on your mental health in the same conversation.

That reminds you, when you forget, that the work matters and so do you.

That is what Public Health Joy Community members experience.

That is what awaits you on the other side of this.

We are just getting started. This is the beginning of something much bigger that we are building together. And I want you inside before we open the doors wide.

In the latest episode of the Public Health Joy Podcast, I get honest about something a lot of us carry quietly: the feeling that this world was never built for you to thrive in. That no matter how far you get, there was never a place intended for you to get there. I know that feeling in my body. I know it in my spirit.

But I want you to remember: when you feel like there's no place for you, someone has been working to build one anyway. A space where you can be loved, be seen, be yourself without having to explain it first. Where you can rest instead of striving. Where you don't have to carry it alone.

This episode goes deep into grief, into quiet rage, into what it means to keep fighting without losing yourself. It's heavy, but it's honest. And at the end of it, there's still this: you have a place. You belong.

I want to ask you something honest.

How much of your work do you do alone?

Not because you want to. But because finding peers who truly understand the intersection of research, equity, community, and public health practice takes work that nobody budgets time for.

Because community, real community, is hard to find and harder to sustain in a field that runs on urgency and depletion.

Here is what I know happens when public health professionals stay isolated:

We lose more than individuals.
We lose ideas.
We lose innovation.
We lose the mentorship that could have kept someone in the field instead of burning out and walking away.
We lose futures.

Another year grinding alone is not inevitable.

Another year without peers who actually understand your work is not inevitable.

Another year performing resilience for institutions that don't protect you is not inevitable.

The Public Health Joy Community exists because I refused to accept that isolation was the only option and because we’ve proved that when we are given space to find each other, something shifts.

Don't spend another year doing this work alone.

That's not a contradiction. That's the whole strategy.

I'm not going to apologize for standing up. I'm not going to pretend I have it all figured out. And I'm not going to let the fight cost me my joy. Because if I let them take that too, they've won something they were never supposed to have.

In the latest episode of The Public Health Joy Podcast, I get honest about the quiet rage that's been building in me, where it comes from, and why protecting our joy in the middle of the fight isn't selfish; it's what makes us able to keep going.

This one is heavy, but it's real. And there's a place for you in it. New episode live now 🎧

After rest. After reimagining.

Comes the part that requires the most from us.

Rebuilding.

And I want to be clear: we are not rebuilding what was.

What was, was fragile.
What was, was a safety net that turned out to be thinner than we knew.
What was, was a system that told us it had our backs and then showed us quickly, without warning, without apology, that it did not.

We are building something different.

Something with real structure. Real strategy. Real community underneath it.
Here is what I know about rebuilding:

You cannot do it alone. Not sustainably. Not in a way that lasts.

You need people who understand what you're carrying. Who can hold a piece of the vision when you're too tired to hold all of it. Who bring their expertise alongside yours so that what gets built is stronger than anything any one of us could build on our own.

You take your section. I take my section. Then we build together.

That is the Public Health Joy Community.

Not a space to consume content and return to isolation.

A space to actually build, with structure, strategy, and people who are done doing this work alone.

As I've been reflecting on the loss of Dr. Jason Arday, only two words have been sitting in my spirit: Quiet rage.

In my latest episode, I'm being honest with you about where I am right now.

We're talking about the weight of racial violence, the grief that gets passed down before we even have words for it, and the quiet rage that builds in the body every time we hear another name. I'm naming what it feels like to move through this world exhausted and still show up. Still lead. Still fight.

This episode isn't just about the pain; it's about what we do with it. It's about choosing to be bold and strategic instead of silent. It's about protecting our joy in the middle of the fight, not after it, because joy has never meant everything is fine. For us, joy has always been resistance.

This one is heavy. If you need to sit with it in pieces, that's okay. If you need a place to land when it's over, that's okay too. That's what we're building here.

You don't have to have it figured out. You just have to know there's a place for you.

There is a kind of thinking that kicks in when everything feels unstable.

Survival thinking.

Just get through this week. Just hold it together until things settle down.

I understand it. I have lived in it.

And I want to tell you something important: survival thinking will keep you alive. But it will not move you forward.

At some point, and I believe that point is now, we have to shift from surviving to something harder and more necessary:

Reimagining.

The old infrastructure is crumbling. The funding models are shifting. The political climate has exposed how fragile our systems always were.

And that is devastating. AND it is an opening.

An opening to reimagine how we fund our work. How we build our careers. How we serve our communities without being entirely dependent on systems that can pull the rug at any moment.

What's possible now? What needs to change? What can we build differently?

These are the questions we ask inside the Public Health Joy Community. Not in theory, but in practice, together, with people who understand the terrain and refuse to accept that survival is the ceiling.

When we stop dreaming, everything stops.
Come dream with us.🧑

I want to say something that public health culture rarely gives us permission to say:

You cannot fight exhausted.

Right now our field is navigating funding cuts, policy attacks, workforce burnout, and a political climate that is actively working against the communities we serve.

And in the middle of all of that, we are expected to keep producing. Keep showing up. Keep performing excellence for institutions and systems that have never fully protected us.

That is not sustainable.

Rest is not the opposite of the work.
Rest is how the work stays possible.

It is how you make sound decisions in unstable times. It is how you lead clearly when everything around you is unclear. It is how you stay in this fight for the long haul instead of burning out before the battle is over.

Inside the Public Health Joy Community, rest is not a concept we admire from a distance. It is something we practice together, protect together, and hold each other accountable to.

Because a depleted public health professional cannot serve their community fully.

And your community needs you not just full, but overflowing.
