I had the real pleasure of sitting down with my brilliant friend Anysa Holder, Chief Advancement Officer at Easterseals NJ, on the latest episode of Nonprofit Lowdown. šŸ™ŒšŸ½

We covered so much ground, including:
šŸ’„ What it’s like to stay in the nonprofit sector for 15+ years
šŸ’„ The emotional labor of fundraising (especially as women of color)
šŸ’„ Unpacking money trauma and mindset
šŸ’„ Why board training needs a major upgrade—and how Anysa’s leading that charge
šŸ’„ How to avoid burnout while staying mission-driven

One of my favorite things Anysa said?
šŸ‘‰šŸ½ ā€œThe whole job is unpacking stuff… because it’s relational.ā€

We laughed, got deep, and got real about what it takes to do this work and still stay grounded.

If you’re a nonprofit leader, fundraiser, or just trying to do meaningful work without losing yourself—this one is for you.
