Self-preservation is a Superpower

Written By Katie Goar

Self-preservation is a superpower I’m still discovering. Too often, we focus solely on getting the work done and overlook this hidden gem.

How am I discovering this?
👉 Carving out time to journal
👉 Seeking out other women leaders to surround and challenge me
👉 Attending events that pour into me and don't drain me
👉 Investing in myself and revising that definition as I go

If you’ve been waiting for a sign to pause, create, and connect with collaborators - this is it! This is how we show up better for ourselves, our families, and drive meaningful impact in affordable housing.

When we create space for creativity and the courage to step beyond comfort zones, something amazing happens - we uncover encouragement, inspiration, and synergy, all wrapped in authenticity and growth!

Plot twist - this moment captured was a game changer for how I entered 2025 - thank you Joya Dass!
