Our Story.
So, what do you need?
As two education specialists who came out as transgender in adulthood and became aware of our neurodivergence later in our lives, we know a bit about transitions and transformations and the barriers that keep us from living in our authenticity.
There are systems in our lives that we can’t opt out of, even when we know they are harmful. Public education is hurting, and it was built for a time that no longer exists (and never really did). Families are pressured into achieving unrealistic and unhelpful markers for success and are often isolated from systems of support. Healthcare systems set providers up for moral injury in the face of climbing standards and shrinking resources.
It’s tempting to throw up our hands and say, “Well, we can’t fix this. I guess that’s it.”
We can’t rely on institutions to change what benefits them; that’s like trying to turn a cargo ship with a single oar. But defeatist all-or-nothing thinking keeps us stuck.
Because as much as we hear messaging otherwise, there is nothing wrong with you. We can help.
When a seed doesn’t grow, we don’t yell at it. We examine the soil. So, what does your soil need? How do you change what the systems in your life look like for you? For your kids? At your job? In your relationships? For your students? Your patients?
Most of that work asks us to look inward through a lens of self-compassion and curiosity. Once we do, space opens up for empathy. Empathy changes everything.
As psychologist and guru Baba Ram Dass once said, you can have an awakening over and over again, but if the environment stays the same, nothing really changes. You must heal yourself first and then turn those changes to the world around you.
From our auditorium seminars to small group workshops and one-on-one coaching, our approach is the same:
