Award-winning youth activist Katie Hodgetts presents eight steps towards a new type of activism: by building inner resilience we create the tools we need to bring about impactful outer action.
Create change without losing yourself
In a world of urgency and overwhelm, award-winning youth activist Katie Hodgetts calls for a new kind of contemporary activism - one built on resilience, reflection and renewal rather than firefighting. She invites us to reimagine activism not as a sprint, but as a cycle of acting, resting, resetting and repeating.
Rooted in lived experience, research and stories from The Resilience Project, Katie offers a transformative framework for changemaking through eight guideposts, including:
- Humans First, Changemakers Second: Reclaim the self beneath the struggle so the changemaker can thrive.
- The Wisdom of Burnout: Recognize the early signs and come back stronger.
- Your Resilience Rucksack: Build practical tools and habits that keep you grounded.
- Let Your Feelings Eat: Befriend emotions like rage and guilt, so they become companions, not distractions.
This book redefines activism for an anxious generation, giving us the tools to transform passion into lasting impact - to recover, grow and act with resilience.
