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.

It’s a much-needed handbook for sustaining ourselves so we can sustain the work."" – Kajal Odedra, author of Do Something: Activism for Everyone and Hair/ Power; Essays on Control and Freedom
