Episode 045: “Living Centered and Giving a Damn”
Featuring Nick Laparra
Making a difference doesn’t have to come at the expense of our mental health. When confronted with injustice, inequality, pain, and crisis, we have three options: become apathetic, overwhelmed, or inspired to do something about it!
Social impact consultant and the founder of Let’s Give A Damn, Nick Laparra, is on a mission to help people pick the latter. Recently, Nick sat down with Lindsey and Mickenzie to discuss why he thinks more people need to give a damn and how we can actually make a sustainable impact on the things that matter most without sacrificing our mental, emotional or physical health.
