JEN ON PURPOSE

Jen Rudolph

Helping mission-driven people and organizations thrive

About

I'm Jen Rudolph. I work at the intersection of human wellbeing and meaningful purpose, as a writer, consultant, and social scientist with 18 years inside mission-driven organizations. My work is rooted in conservation psychology: what it tells us about burnout, purpose, and the people trying to change the world.

Whether you're leading a nonprofit, caring for living things, or simply trying to sustain your own fire, you're in the right place.

My Work

Writing, podcasting, and publishing at the edges of purpose and sustainability.

You Matter More

A practical guide to burnout prevention for mission-driven professionals. Honest, grounded, and built for the long haul.

Dear Petey, Dear Gus

An epistolary memoir told through the letters between two beloved pets. Tender, funny, and quietly profound.

Ted Lasso Saves the World

A fan podcast exploring leadership, kindness, and what a fictional football coach can teach us about real life.

Behind-the-scenes insights on workforce culture, sustainability, and the humans keeping our zoos alive.

Work With Me

With 18 years of hands-on experience in conservation, organizational wellbeing, and workforce sustainability, I partner with mission-driven organizations to build cultures where people can actually stay. And thrive. Whether you need consulting support, a keynote speaker, or a thought partner who gets the complexity of this work, I'm here.
