A year-end reflection on capacity, courage, and making room for joy.

As we close out the year, this episode of Adaptive Humans offers a grounded reflection — not on resolutions, but on what this year asked of us emotionally, culturally, and physiologically. Beneath polished bios, many carried unseen stress, grief, and uncertainty. Jami explores why this wasn’t a talent problem but a capacity one, what it means to be brave enough before clarity arrives, and how making room for joy supports resilience. The episode closes with a gentle Just Be Reset to help listeners pause and enter the new year with more presence and care.

Change fatigue isn’t a motivation problem — it’s a human one. In this short episode, Jami de Lou offers a real-talk reflection on how leaders and teams can navigate capacity, grief, and growth without burning out. From nervous system overload to compounding grief and year-end burnout, learn how to recognize the signs, recalibrate expectations, and reset with a more human-centered approach. A must-listen for anyone navigating big transitions. All in under 15 minutes.

In this episode of Adaptive Humans, Leah Hairston, founder of Sweet Bee Services, joins Jami de Lou to unpack how trauma-informed doula care shifts birth outcomes — and what leaders can learn from it.

They explore cultural intelligence, systemic inequities, and how to build safety and trust in high-stakes spaces. This isn’t just about birth. It’s about leadership, healing, and how we care for one another.
