Happy Thoughts Podcast: Episode 55
"Take time to do what makes your soul happy." -Jeremy McGilvrey
This episode features Alejandra Garza, senior manager at The Wellbeing Project! I met Alejandra when Omega Insitute hosted The Hearth Summit- an event created with The Wellbeing Project and The Harlem Wellness Center to bring people together to express/find common ground for social change with the arts. It felt very Happy Thoughty the whole time and I'm so honored to have Alejandra on the podcast! This episode gives a wonderful overview of what The Wellbeing Project is doing all over the globe. We could learn a lot from how they function! More about Alejandra below 🙂
Ale is from a mountain filled city called Monterrey, in the North of Mexico. She started her career in strategic process consulting and project management. She studied Mechanical Engineering, and then worked 5 years in process consulting (mostly supply chain cost-efficiencies and logistics). In 2017 she launched a web platform for connecting volunteers with social causes in their city. This project came to life after launching a pro-bono consulting initiative in the consulting company she was working at, and this was what pivoted her consulting career into the social sector.
To this day, her work and projects have provided the opportunity for her to experience how things work and how people operate in the social sector (in Mexico specifically). She firmly believes that great things happen through collaboration and loves brainstorming ideas to get things done. Ale actively searches for new ways to improve and learn about herself and has taken 2 certifications on logotherapy by Centro OCCRE in Monterrey, Mexico. She is proud to call herself a Viktor Frankl advocate. She sees wellbeing as balance and unity, starting with herself so that that can lead to spreading the experience of wellbeing for all. She enjoys spending time with her family in nature, reading novels and admires horses for the deep empathy they share with people.
From The Wellbeing Project website:
What does inner wellbeing mean to you?
Ale: I see wellbeing as balance, unity, and living with ease. Wellbeing means being responsible for myself, for what I am, think and do. Starting with myself, so that that can lead to spreading the experience of wellbeing for all.
