2026 plan: control the controllables 🤍

01/13/2026

I’ve been told:
– Don’t say “trauma”
– Keep this work inside mental health
– Stop overselling trust
– It's too 'soft'
– Make it more palatable 🙃

My response: I hear you and no.

If trauma is universal, then trauma-informed leadership belongs everywhere: business, policy, education, tech, philanthropy, healthcare.

Eight days into 2026, with authoritarianism rising, burnout normalized, and collective harm accelerating, I don’t have any patience left for bypassing what we already know works.

Using the language without doing the work causes harm.

Dancing around this approach by trying every other corporate program is just wasting time.

Waiting for CEOs to catch up hasn’t worked.

This work has to be lived, not labeled.

Choosing to be trauma-informed right now is a courageous, countercultural act.

As we wake up to another day with many of us asking, "what can I do?"

I'm here to tell you: trauma-informed leadership is the antidote.

Not someday. Not perfectly. Not better conditions. Now.

If you're with me, let me know.

We need to see each other and build this groundswell of people choosing a to disrupt the status quo.
