What You Did This Year Was Enough: A Thanksgiving Reflection for Leaders

In this special Thanksgiving episode of the Get Organized at Work Podcast, leadership coach and working mom of three Kayla Fahey-Ahrndt invites you into a warm, reflective moment to acknowledge something most leaders never hear: what you did this year was enough.

Kayla guides you through a gentle leadership mindfulness practice focused on gratitude, accomplishment, and self-compassion.
