Pat Shea, founder of BeingGiveful.com, opens our thinking about the wellness practice of being mindful and giving in the nonprofit world. Pat shares her unique journey, from leading nonprofits to co-founding a tech startup, and reflects on the life-changing concept that "those who give, receive." Her philosophy of being "Giveful" is about more than just financial giving; it involves small, everyday acts of kindness and openness to receiving.

With host Julia Patrick, Pat reflects on her experiences with amazing women who embody the idea of giving. One moving story she shares is of a woman who built a school in India and, when asked what she received in return, broke down in tears, saying, “I did it to honor my parents who passed away when I was a teenager.” This powerful connection between giving and receiving is at the heart of Pat’s message. She emphasizes the importance of awareness, action, and acceptance in practicing this philosophy. As she puts it, "Being Giveful is the continuous, conscious, creative practice of giving of yourself to others while being open to receiving."
