Your Work Matters.
Let’s Make It Work Even Better.
Does this sound familiar?
You’re navigating a whirlwind of shifting resources, changing priorities, and a sea of stakeholders - each with different needs, expectations, and urgencies.
Keeping it all moving forward feels like a full-time job (on top of your actual full-time job).
Your team is all heart. They show up, give their all, and leave everything on the field. But burnout is creeping in. You need real support to recharge them, level up their skills, and keep them connected to the bigger "why." And let’s be real, you need that too. You want to lead well and still have something left to give yourself and the rest of your life.
You’re an expert in your field because you set out to make a big impact - not to get buried in endless to-do lists.
But you’re only one person and you find you’re stuck spinning in the same details, the same fires, year after year.
You’ve done the conferences, bought the books, and stacked up more professional development than you can count. But where do you start? How do you turn all that insight into real, lasting change? You don’t need another webinar - you need someone to help you make sense of it all and take action in a way that actually works.
Imagine
A Future That Works - For Everyone (Including You)
Imagine...A workplace where people don’t just get through the day - they thrive. Your team feels energized, supported, and deeply connected to the work that matters. Bold ideas turn into real solutions, and real solutions create lasting impact.
Now, imagine what that means for you.
No more drowning in chaos or questioning if you’re doing enough. Instead, you feel focused, confident, and in control leading with purpose and ease. Your energy goes to what matters, not just at work, but at home and in life.
Picture a culture where well-being and productivity go hand in hand. Where your people have the skills, systems, and support to do their best work without burning out. And you? You finally have the space to lead, think big, and breathe.
Now, zoom out. When leaders thrive, organizations transform. Communities strengthen. The planet benefits. This future isn’t wishful thinking, it’s possible. And with the right strategy, tools, and support, it’s within reach.
How We Can Work Together
Your work matters. Let’s make it work even better - with the right strategy, support, and systems to help you and your team thrive.
How It Works:
Your work matters. Your leadership matters. And it shouldn’t come at the cost of your sanity, well-being, or joy.
Meet Jessica
Voted "Most Likely to Clean Out Your Junk Drawer" (And Fix Your Systems Too)
I’ve had a career path that looks less like a straight line and more like a winding road with great scenery, unexpected detours, and a few potholes. I’ve worked across industries, at every level—frontline contributor, top decision-maker, and everything in between. And despite my best efforts to resist it, my heart kept pulling me back to one thing: helping people build healthier, better-functioning, and more joyful workplaces.
Like many of you, I got into this work because I believed I could change the world.
The crazy part? I still believe it. But my understanding of how has evolved. There was a time I thought impact required sacrifice - give until it hurts, then give some more. I learned the hard way that this road leads straight to burnout. But through the power of life-changing mentors, a ridiculous amount of professional development, and plenty of trial and error, I discovered a better way.
Now, I help leaders like you create workplaces where impact and well-being coexist.
Because I believe we can do meaningful work without sacrificing ourselves, our sanity, or our ability to enjoy our lives. I love working with revolutionaries and rebels at heart—people who’ve harnessed their powers for good and are ready to lead with more ease, effectiveness, and (dare I say) joy.
As for me? I’m a Southern California native who’s lived all over the country but can still spot a good street taco a mile away. When I’m not coaching and consulting, you’ll find me nerding out on podcasts (economics, social science, true crime, the mating habits of puffins...truly, no topic is too random), cooking for people who feed my spirit, or attempting random home design projects (how many? Depends on my mood and how much power my drill has left).
Let’s do good work—and do it well.
