About the Show

Hello, I’m Skippy Mesirow, host of “Healing Our Politics,” the show that empowers you, the heart-centered public servants and political leaders, how to heal our politics by starting with the human in the mirror.

Healing Our Politics, “HOP,” is a first-of-its-kind show that provides tools and practices for mental well-being, health, and balance so we can do good by feeling good and safe in our jobs.

HOP brings together experts, scientists, doctors, thought leaders, healers, and coaches to share their insights in practical, tactical, actionable ways specifically tailored to the public service experience for you to test and implement with yourself and your teams. Episodes feature intimate conversations with global leaders about their self-care practices and personal challenges, providing insights for a more holistic, connected approach to leadership. Whether you're a Mayor, teacher, police officer, or staffer, this podcast will guide you to be the best version of yourself in service to yourself and the world!
