Waffles’ Wisdom:

Self-Care for Systems Changers

At Premiums for the Planet, we know that tackling climate, systems change, and innovation is no small feat. It takes persistence, courage, and a whole lot of energy. We see our partners and peers showing up every day, doing the hard work to shift industries and reimagine what’s possible.

And let’s be real—big, audacious change requires balance. That means leaning into self-care, embracing joy, and finding humor along the way. It means reconnecting to what grounds us—each other, the great outdoors, and the purpose that got us here in the first place.

That’s where Waffles, our Head of Wellness, comes in. She’s here to remind us that showing up for the work starts with showing up for ourselves. Whether it’s a moment of reflection, a laugh when we need it most, or a reminder to trust our instincts, Waffles delivers a dose of what we all need to take on the challenges ahead—one tail wag at a time.
