Our "Professional" Masks are Cracking, And That is a Good Thing

If you feel like it’s harder and harder to be a human at work lately, we have something important to tell you: You aren’t imagining it.

We are currently operating in a pressure cooker. Between the rise of dehumanizing capitalist norms, the weight of global political shifts, and the relentless demand to "perform professionalism" while the world feels like it’s on fire, most of us are stretched beyond what is sustainable.

We’re told to keep our heads down and hit our targets. But at what cost to our humanity?

Moving Beyond the "Self-Care" Band-Aid

Most corporate wellness advice tells you to take a bubble bath or download a meditation app so you can get back to work. We’re doing something different.

Rex Wilde, Crystal Whiteaker, and I are hosting a 4-part virtual workshop series this April and May. This isn't about individual self-care as a temporary fix. It’s about systemic resilience and building power with your community. 

Whether you are navigating the uncertainty of nonprofit funding, managing a high-growth tech team, or simply trying to exist as a conscious human in a corporate space, this series provides a "practical toolkit" for the real world.

We will be diving into:

  • Somatic Resources: Using movement, emotional tending, and grounding practices—the "toys" and resources Resmaa Menakem speaks of—to navigate the challenges ahead.

  • Values-Based Frameworks: Tools to guide everything from hiring choices to product development.

  • Sustainable Activism: Strategies to drive organizational change without hitting a wall of burnout.

  • Personalized Action Plans: Aligning your 9-to-5 with your soul’s goals for how you want to show up in this world.

Is This Space for You?

This series is designed for the leaders, the managers, and the "disruptors from within" who are feeling called to care for themselves and their communities in the face of rising authoritarian power. If you want to make your workplace more humane while amplifying your impact on the issues that matter, you belong here.

The tools i’ll be diving into on April 16th in “Presence and compassion in challenging times” is about offering real-life strategies like movement, emotional tending, and grounding practices to help us navigate the challenges ahead from a more embodied place.
