Advice for On and Off Planet: Serving Without Self-Erasure with Dr. Jennifer Rochlis

Join OSMED on June 17, 2026 at 8:00 PM ET for a public office hour with Dr. Jennifer Rochlis, Co-Founder and Board Chair of OSMED, for a conversation on serving, leading, and contributing without disappearing inside obligation.

Many professionals work within systems that reward overextension, constant availability, chronic urgency, emotional labor, and the pressure to keep carrying more than is sustainable. Over time, it can become easy to override personal signals, push past limits, and mistake depletion for dedication.

This session will explore how to recognize signs of overload before exhaustion becomes the only message loud enough to hear. Dr. Rochlis will discuss how different people process stress, pressure, and decision-making, as well as practical ways to pause before automatically saying yes, communicate capacity more clearly, and make decisions that are sustainable for the nervous system over time.

This event is open to the public and is designed for professionals, leaders, students, clinicians, engineers, designers, researchers, and anyone working in high-demand environments who wants to serve with clarity, capacity, and self-awareness.
