Listen, I get it.
If you feel overwhelmed by the weight of this moment, you’re not alone.
I remember what it was like after the 2016 election. I was the communications lead for an association focused on ending HIV and hepatitis.
The anxiety and fear of funding cuts, program rollbacks, and the undoing of hard-fought progress was real.
Managing a transition like that was easier said than done.
Right now, with shifting budgets, layoffs, policy changes, and bracing for the next shoe to drop, it’s been challenging to ground yourself in what seems like a groundless world.
Whether you're a CEO, executive director, fundraiser, people manager, board member, movement leader, or a behind-the-scenes operations person—it's time to pause and refill your cup.
The truth is, slowing down isn't selfish—it's strategic. Your well-being isn't optional right now. It's essential.
The world needs you more than ever. But if you’re not around long enough to keep doing the good work, then who will do it?
I know getting grounded in what seems like a chaotic world can feel impossible, but it doesn’t have to be this way.
The Process
The Workplace Mental Health & Well-Being Framework
As a starting place, we use the U.S. Office of the Surgeon General’s evidence-informed framework for mental health and well-being at work to create a shared understanding our challenges and identify the best starting place for taking action.
The C.H.A.N.G.E. Framework for Inner & Outer Well-Being
We pair this framework with the Mindful Changemaker C.H.A.N.G.E. framework for inner and outer well-being to support you in taking practical and sustained positive action over the long term.
The Book
Our primary handbook and curriculum is based on How to Thrive When Work Doesn’t Love You Back: A Practical Guide for Taking Care of Yourself While Changing The World.
Learn a sustainable process for elevating your well-being while amplifying your well-doing in making the world a better place.

Meet the Creator of Thrive@Work
I’m Meico Marquette Whitlock.
Imagine a world where leaders and teams don’t just grind through the day but thrive in their work, without sacrificing their well-being. That’s the world I’m working to create.
I’m here to help you embody what it means to truly thrive and know your well-being is your greatest asset.
As a workplace well-being strategist, I’m on a mission to help purpose-driven leaders rewrite the narrative of success. I believe that impactful work doesn’t have to come at the cost of your health or happiness, and I’ve made it my life’s work to show you how.
I’m the founder and CEO of Mindful Techie, author of How to Thrive When Work Doesn’t Love You Back and The Intention Planner, and a certified trauma-informed mindfulness teacher.
I partner with mission-driven organizations to create cultures where belonging, balance, and purpose take center stage. In a world full of burnout and overwhelm, I help you navigate life, work, and technology in harmony.
During my previous career in the tech, nonprofit, and government sectors, I experienced more than my fair share of burnout and overwhelm in the name of making a difference. As a recovering workaholic, I use what I’ve learned to help changemakers like you make an impact without self-sacrifice.
I partner with you to create strategies and deliver programs that help your team scale impact while sustaining the right balance between life, work, and technology in today’s changing world.
I have worked with organizations such as the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Cigna, and Greenpeace, and have been a featured speaker on ABC News, Fox 5, and Radio One. I'm also a former triathlete, love salsa dancing, and make the world’s best vegan chili! :-)
