You’re not broken. You’re depleted.

Not because you’re doing too much, but because you’ve been carrying too much for too long.

Pressure.
Pace.
Expectations.
Responsibility.
Guilt.
You kept going even when you were past empty.

I know this terrain well. That’s why I do this work.
 

Thriving Minds exists to help people protect their mental health, rebuild capacity, and live well under pressure, without relying on burnout as the reset point.

​

Why I'm Here

I’ve seen what burnout takes from people.
Their energy.
Their clarity.
Their confidence.
Their sense of self.

I’ve also seen how often burnout is misunderstood. People are told to manage time better, be more resilient, or push through. What’s missing is recovery that actually restores capacity.

People don’t need more productivity strategies or vague self-care advice.
They need systems that balance pressure with recovery in real life, not in theory.

That insight shapes everything I do.

​

What I Believe

Burnout is not a personal flaw.
It’s a capacity issue created by sustained pressure without enough recovery.

Rest is not weakness.
Boundaries are not selfish.
Recovery is not a reward. It’s part of how systems stay functional.
 

Here’s what guides my work:

• Pressure isn’t the enemy, but recovery must match the load

• Sustainable energy isn’t about doing less, but doing differently

• Endurance without recovery is not resilience

• Mental health capacity expands and contracts based on how it’s supported

When people understand how pressure and recovery work together, they stop blaming themselves and start making smarter choices.

​

What I Do

I work with people under pressure, and with the people who shape the systems they work inside.

Through coaching, consulting, workshops, and speaking, I help:

• Individuals who feel depleted, stuck, or close to burnout

• Leaders who want to protect their own capacity while supporting others

• Teams and organizations ready to move away from burnout as a norm
   

My work is grounded in science, shaped by lived experience, and designed for real conditions, not ideal ones.

A Little About Me

I’ve spent decades working with people under pressure, including leaders, caregivers, athletes, and teams navigating complexity and change.

I’ve supported thousands of people through large-scale organizational transitions. I’ve helped design wellness and psychological safety strategies used by tens of thousands of employees and families. I’ve coached people who looked fine on the outside while quietly running on empty.
 

I’ve also experienced burnout myself. More than once.
 

That experience changed how I understand mental health, performance, and recovery. It taught me that endurance without recovery is not strength, and that sustainable performance is built by respecting human limits, not overriding them.
