​ To serve is beautiful, but only if it is done with joy and a whole heart and a free mind.
-Pearl S. Buck- 
Picture

People who see me typically find me helpful as a social / normalcy barometer for whatever's going on in their wave of life. For many of us, that includes some level of work - and I (un)fortunately happen to have way too much experience consulting with:
​
- Deeply compassionate folks who have given so much of themselves to work, they've forgotten who they are without it (*parental burnout is REAL)
-
Good people who give far too much of themselves to jobs they hate, they dread, make them cry or think of quitting each day
- Toxic CEOs and Complicit Leadership (*Note: Non-profit leadership, too, can mislead as motivations and behaviors can be cloaked by social admiration)
- Organizations who knowingly disregard clear, reasonable requests for employee mental health (Most frequently is using empathy as a motivator for behavior - like making you feel guilty for taking PTO)
- HR Departments who prioritize legal liability over addressing the mental anguish knowingly perpetuated by workplace conditions
