Engage your audience in meaningful conversations around navigating burnout and finding balance as a nonprofit professional
Megan Whitney
Megan helps changemakers navigate burnout through 1/1 coaching, speaking, and live events on Insight Timer. Her work offers you mindfulness, emotional intelligence, and self-compassion tools to release stress and cultivate calm.
She has dedicated her 17-year career to serving in nonprofits. Since burning out a decade ago, her mission has been preventing the same exhaustion for other nonprofit workers.
In Megan’s day job, she has spent the past seven years fighting hunger as a fundraiser, consultant, mindfulness community founder, and certified Search Inside Yourself organizational teacher of emotional intelligence skills.
She has first-hand experience integrating mindfulness into nonprofits and feels passionate about the power of this skill to build equitable, just, and inclusive systems where everyone belongs.
