Executive Brief: You burn a shocking number of calories spending that much time in the sauna. Why? Increased heart rate, sweating, thermoregulation, elevated metabolism, post-sauna calorie burn as the body works harder to cool down and return to a normal state. Job Responsibilities: Ensured the wood-burning sauna was kept warm with optimal humidity. Entertained guests in the sauna with stories and sauna facts. Kept cold plunge stocked with ice. Whoop Data: Strain: 19.4?(strain between 18 and 21 represents near maximal cardiovascular load). Calories Burned: 5,135 Average Heart Rate: 94 (30-day average is 73 bpm) Resting Hear Rate: 75 (30-day average is 59 bpm) Heart Rate Variability: 61 ms (30-day average is 62)

A new paper published - by my NGO’s research team, animals & well-being ?? Our mission has always been to promote the mental well-being of youth through mindfulness, education and resources. With this review we’ve been able to look at previous literature and identify gaps to promote further research. Collaborating with our team, we conducted a scoping review to assess resources and programming for at-risk youth in Canada who have nonhuman companion animals (NCAs). Our study mapped out existing supports and identified critical gaps in services, particularly in how few programs are designed to assist both youth and their animal companions. For many youth, NCAs provide essential companionship and emotional support, yet shelters and services often exclude these animals, creating barriers to access and well-being.

We can tell our impact stories to so many audiences when we have our annual impact stories documented. In my first work assignment, I worked with World Vision to support a community development program that also struggled with a human-wildlife conflict. A large part of the conflict was wildlife migration?as they traveled searching for pasture, which?would eat and destroy anything they found on their paths. ?We documented stories of how this happened. ?We documented stories of remedies taken to address this conflict and human-interest stories of families that learned alternative ways of addressing this conflict. ?We documented how funds were used to engage communities, save more wildlife, and provide safety for affected families. ?We shared these stories with partners interested in supporting this initiative. Ultimately, it was a win for the community, wildlife, and the organization as we raised more resources to support more initiatives. If your nonprofit has maintained an operational budget of 500k or less, an impact report could be the key to expanding your resources and impact. Let’s collaborate to create a compelling report that highlights your success, facilitates fundraising, and prepares your nonprofit for future expansion.
