leadership programs
navigating the spaces between where life happens
now is the time to build the next generation of rooted leaders.After spending two decades inside government and humanitarian systems, I know the space between service and sacrifice all too well.
Leadership in an era of polycrisis cannot rely on outdated models of hierarchy, control, and detachment. The future demands empathetic leaders who have the skills to build trust and foster connection in a volatile and uncertain world.
Our signature leadership programs are designed to cultivate moral courage through:
Trauma-Informed Strategies to understand and address individual and organizational trauma, moral injury, and institutional betrayal with empathy and care.
Tools for Building Trust to foster connection and psychological safety to unify teams during crises.
Resilience Practices to equip leaders with techniques to manage their own stress and practice collective care.
An Understanding of Crisis Communication to strengthen clarity, transparency, and care in messaging during critical moments.
The Ability to Create Sustainable Impact by aligning crisis leadership practices with long-term organizational stability and success.
Leaders going through our programs leave bettered positioned to:
Engage in critical reflection about power, ethics, and responsibility.
Develop courageous decision-making skills for navigating uncertainty and systemic injustices.
Cultivate human-centered leadership rooted in trauma-informed care, integrity, and sustainability.
We partner with colleges, universities, and mission-driven organizations to prepare the next generation of leaders to reimagine service, embody integrity, challenge harmful systems, and create lasting positive change and spaces of belonging.
How we choose to lead now will shape what comes next.
what if the discomfort of not knowing what comes next isn't a sign that something is wrong?
We spend so much of our lives in liminal spaces—those uncomfortable in-between places where the old story no longer fits but the new one hasn't yet formed.
Between burnout and rest. Between what was and what's next. Between who we were and who we're becoming.
Threshold spaces are everywhere, but we’ve never been taught how to move through them. We’ve been conditioned to fear them. To rush through them. To treat uncertainty as a problem to fix rather than sacred ground for transformation.
what this work is (and isn’t)
This work isn't about resume writing or job search strategy—there are excellent career coaches for that practical support. Instead, this is threshold work: learning to root yourself in uncertainty, to listen to what's arising in the quiet spaces, and to make choices from a place of connection rather than conditioned urgency.
Sacred resistance is the practice of staying connected to your humanity while working within systems designed to prioritize productivity over people and extract compliance over conscience.
It's sacred because it honors what is most essential in us—our values, our intuition, our connection to something larger than ourselves.
Sacred resistance coaching recognizes that the rush to "figure it out" and "get to the next thing" is itself a form of systemic conditioning. The sacred resistance is in refusing to rush through your becoming—choosing to honor these transitional spaces as fertile ground for discovering who you are when you're not performing for systems that were never designed to see your full humanity.
Whether you're healing from institutional harm, navigating unexpected transition, or simply finding yourself in yet another threshold moment—this work meets you in the in-between with curiosity rather than urgency.
the sacred resistance framework
sacred resistance coaching moves you through a practice designed specifically for navigating the thresholds we encounter in moments of transition:
the witnessing | rupture - acknowledging what's ending, what's been lost, what's brought you to this threshold. Creating space for the grief that comes with letting go.
the unlearning | remember - examining the stories, identities, and beliefs shaped by systems of power, politics, and paradox. Acknowledging the cost of service and grieving what’s been lost to make space for what’s next.
the grounding | root - untangling identity and self-worth from roles, titles, outcomes, and productivity—and re-rooting into our personal values and truth with compassion.
the restoring | reclaim - exploring the anchors and collective care that nourish us—restoring connection, safety, and the conditions for stability and joy..
the becoming | rise - living into our moral root system—ethics, values, and boundaries—and creating pathways to show up with courage, clarity, and care moving forward.

coaching packages designed to meet you where you are in your personal journey
sacred pause intensive | 90 mins 1 session / $500
For when you're standing at the threshold of a major change and need immediate support to find your ground. This intensive creates space to name what's happening, honor what's ending, and identify your next right step from a place of presence rather than panic.
We'll explore what it means to root yourself in uncertainty and develop practices for staying with discomfort long enough to hear what it's teaching you.
Perfect for: Crisis support during transitions, exploring whether longer-term coaching aligns with your journey, or finding clarity in a specific threshold moment.
threshold navigation journey | 60 mins 6 sessions over 3 months / $1710
For deep liminal space work. We'll explore not just how to tolerate uncertainty, but how to find it fertile and sacred. Whether we follow the framework sequentially or weave through it organically based on what you're experiencing, we'll ensure all elements are addressed over our time together.
This package includes text support between sessions for those moments when insights arise or challenges emerge in your threshold journey. We'll address how systemic conditioning lives in your body, how your nervous system responds to uncertainty, and what it looks like to practice collective care while in transition.
Perfect for: Major life transitions, healing from institutional betrayal, or developing mastery in threshold navigation.
foundation sessions | 60 mins 3 sessions over 6 weeks / $900
For deeper exploration and awareness of how systemic conditioning shapes your relationship with uncertainty and begin practicing new ways of being in threshold moments.
We can work through the sacred resistance framework, or we can let each session unfold based on what's most alive for you.
Each session builds your capacity for staying present in the unknown while honoring whatever is arising for you.
Perfect for: Building tolerance for uncertainty, developing threshold navigation skills, or beginning the unlearning process around productivity culture.
leading through the liminal | 60 mins 12 sessions over 6 months / $3000
For those ready to lead from the liminal—to model what it looks like to make decisions from wisdom rather than fear, create space for others' uncertainty, and resist the cultural pressure to have all the answers.
In this comprehensive journey we'll work together to develop your capacity to create psychological safety for others, address systemic harm when you witness it, and model what it looks like to lead from wholeness rather than performance. This package includes priority email access and support for implementing threshold-honoring practices within your sphere of influence.
Perfect for: Leaders navigating organizational change, those launching new ventures from a place of integrity, or individuals ready to mentor others in threshold navigation.
a note about honoring financial realities in liminal spaces
Threshold moments often bring financial uncertainty—especially when leaving systems that never honored our full humanity. The courage to choose integrity over security deserves support, not additional barriers.
mutual aid commitment | I’ve chosen to offer a limited number of spots at a reduced rate each quarter for those experiencing financial hardship due to transition, systemic harm, or other circumstances. These aren’t charity—they’re mutual aid, recognizing that extractive systems often create financial vulnerability precisely when we most need support to remember who we are outside of them. The invitation here is to pay this aid forward in some way in the future when you’re in a position to do so.
For those who have recently left (or are preparing to leave) federal service or humanitarian organizations—your courage to step into the unknown rather than continue participating in systems that diminish humanity deserves to be honored.
This work recognizes that you're not just changing jobs—you're crossing a threshold between versions of yourself. The question isn't "What should I do next?" but rather "Who am I when I'm not performing for systems that were designed to extract rather than nourish?" With that in mind, I make this mutual aid commitment to those needing additional support in these challenging times:
sacred pause intensive: $350 (normally $500)
foundation sessions: $650 (normally $900)
threshold navigation journey: $1,200 (normally $1,710)
