(Free!) Break Down. Wake Up. - online gathering

Breakdowns help us learn more about ourselves, they shake us out of our default mode, they challenge our assumptions about life. Often, breakdowns act as key signals with messages that something is not working. For many of us, breakdowns are the most transformative experiences in our lives. Breaking down is waking up. The world needs to learn from this wisdom, but first we need to discover it ourselves. 

Within this session, you will:   

- hear an inspiring story of breaking down and waking up   

- share your own meaningful life stories in small groups    

- connect your experience to broader shared themes and inspire potential projects! 

Background about the event & project:  

Break down. Wake Up is an Empatiko project that creates space for us to share our real stories of personal challenges and how those experiences led to deeper wisdom, insight, and creativity.   

Along the way, we'll challenge existing, long-held cultural narratives about what it means to be a leader, how connection works, and the relationship between inner work and outer success.    

About the host:   

I’m Meg Mateer, a psychology nerd turned business consultant and entrepreneur. Experiencing depression as a teenager was one of the most profound and insightful periods in my life - it continues to influence my curiosity, creativity, connection and leadership style. In fact, it inspired me to start Empatiko.

And there's more: we're looking for speakers for the Break Down. Wake Up podcast :) 

Are you a leader? An entrepreneur? An innovator? An industry disruptor? A change-maker?

Have you had your own experience of breaking down and waking up?

We want to hear your story. We want to know your perspective on discomfort and innovation and how your personal experience has influenced this perspective.
