Episode Details

In this episode of Thinking CAAP, Beck Moore welcomes Kara Hardin for part 2 of a conversation about what happens after we recognize our patterns of striving, over-functioning, and self-protection.

Beck shares a deeply personal story from the beginning of COVID, reflecting on fear, identity, transition, and the terrifying but life-changing work of becoming more congruent with himself. Kara builds on that story by exploring the difference between automatic striving and deliberate striving, and how leaders can begin to notice the many parts of themselves that show up in moments of pressure.

Together, Beck and Kara discuss self-awareness, organizational culture, the limits of control, human services work, and the importance of creating space to pause, reflect, and gather better data about what we need. The conversation is honest, tender, and practical, inviting leaders to build healthier organizations without losing touch with their own humanity.

We hope you listen to and share this deeply human, supportive, and inspiring conversation with your circle, and find ways to support each other today.
