The Self Investigation is a collective working to transform work culture, especially in vocational professions, advocating for a healthier and more sustainable way of working.

Mar Cabra, executive director of The Self Investigation, knows what she’s talking about: she reached the pinnacle of her career as a journalist by winning a Pulitzer, while at the same time hitting rock bottom personally.

Her own experience with burnout led her to rethink the work model in newsrooms and to create a foundation that has already supported over 12,000 professionals worldwide. “It seems you have to give your all, your life, your health to succeed… and it shouldn’t be that way,” she admits in Impact Info.

Today, The Self Investigation works with media and companies around the world to train teams and managers in mental health, create safer environments, and prevent burnout. A mission that, according to Cabra, stems from a simple conviction: “You are more important than your work.”
