We are officially headed into our third year of OutGrowth and our third volume of En Root! To celebrate, we are kicking it off with an entire issue and month centered around wellness. Let us explain.

At OutGrowth, we are rooted in the belief that our education and our careers are multi-dimensional, which is why we seek to build dynamic experiences for students and professionals that will round out the traditional linear approach to living and working. We stand by the idea that limiting learning to a controlled environment does not serve us. We must begin to create intersections.

The concept of wellness, too, has mistakenly been separated from our educational and professional trajectories. It's often seen as an add-on to our day-to-day rather than a driving force. In the spirit of approaching our personal and professional lives from a more holistic perspective, we bring to you the wellness philosophies, tools and resources that will make you more grounded, more centered and, get this, more successful in your career.  

We cannot continue to build our lives in isolated building blocks, silo by silo. Wellness, learning and living require integrative approaches. Looking at how we manage our time, how we approach our physical health, what guides our relationships and how we define our life vision and values - these are all components of a life grounded in wellness. Our wellness strategies are determining factors when it comes to happiness and growth, on all levels. 

This is timely, given that this week, we are leading a Women in Business workshop- Made for More: Your Path to Bravery. We talk about our personal and professional ecosystems and the roles they play in our approach to business. You can still register and join the conversation on December 5!

In this packed issue, we give you leaders from different stages of their careers who are committed to using wellness to build a well-lived life and an intentional career path. Happy reading.

Grow out with us.
