Creating Spaces to Thrive: Leadership Anchored in Creativity, Nature, and Community with Gabrielle Wyatt

In this conversation, visionary leader and founder of The Highland Project, Gabrielle Wyatt Gardner, shares her transformative path from burnout to reclaiming inner power through intentional rest. We explore how creating deliberate clearings in our lives can awaken trust in our innate power and reveal authentic leadership that serves both ourselves and others.
Drawing from her rest practice and deep commitment to creativity and nature, Gabrielle reveals how intentional pauses have become essential to her leadership, self-expression, and vision for change. Often found walking alongside trees on new trails in New York, birdwatching, or painting, her journey from comparing herself to others to trusting her own vessel of power offers a powerful testament to rest's transformative potential.
In this episode, we explore:
- How clearing space awakens self-knowledge and reconnection to authentic self
- The relationship between rest and discovering inner power
- Breaking free from busyness and honoring seasonal boundaries
- Self-leadership as foundation for creating meaningful change in communities
- Creating spaces anchored in creativity, nature, and community care
- How The Highland Project's commitment to Black women leaders connects to personal rest practices
- Envisioning a well-rested life filled with tangible memories and creations
- The importance of having support systems that honor your boundaries
Experience a guided rest practice focused on shoulder opening and recognizing the abundance of choices available to us. Discover how embracing rest can transform not just your leadership approach but your connection to your own power, creativity, and vision for building multi-generational wealth and community transformation.
