Stamina Demands Care.
That Requires Connection*.

In April of 2025, Zac Willette MDiv BCC coined the term “stamina care” to broaden the conversation from “self care” because ‘self care’ too often blames the person needing it for needing it, and claims that individuals need fixing instead of systems.

Common words like “recharge” and “unplug” make it seem like we’re our phones, instead of complex and interconnected human beings who
[1] already know some of what gets us through and
[2] are ready to connect with what helps us be more ourselves.

* Connection to what? To self, other, values, nature,
awe, spirit, art, history, … the list goes on.

Reach out to join the conversation. It’s fun.
