My friend Sarah Gaer explains the concept of soul exhaustion as a feeling that goes beyond physical exhaustion and seeps into the very essence of who we are. In our recent research survey on soul exhaustion, suicide and the workplace we found that 85% of people believed in the concept of “the soul” and that 45% of people reported that how the workplace responded to their mental health emergency had an “impact on their soul.”
How do we refuel our souls? How do people find soul care at work when they are going through tough times?
In this episode, I have the pleasure of interviewing Phillip Kelley, former Chaplain for the Kansas City Chiefs, author of “Divine Disturbance — Broken to Build,” a purpose-driven coach, and man in long-term recovery.
His two takeaways:
1. What you focus on expands
2. A hula-hoop and blindfold can change your life

The picture of the “fans” chapel service is the “Faith and Family Chapel” that Phillip started at Arrowhead Stadium in 2015 for Chiefs fans before every Sunday noon home game. It’s still happening at 9:30 am each Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium when the Chiefs play at noon. It’s another way Phillip tried to incorporate SoulCare into the fabric of the Chiefs organization. The team owners, the Hunt family attend each week, along with several other executives in the Chiefs organization.
