Burnout isn't a personal failing. It's the terrain.
Rhythms of Renewal is an 8-week recovery cohort for women of color leaders — built from 53 interviews on what actually helps, not more self-care advice.
It combines guided hikes, breath work, somatic practices, traditional healing, self defense, and identity-affirming community to help you restore energy, protect your boundaries, and lead without depleting yourself.
You aren't imagining it, and you certainly aren't alone. If you're a woman of color in a leadership role—an Executive Director, supervisor, or program manager—and you’re running on empty, understand this: burnout is not a personal failing or a lack of resilience.
The World Health Organization classifies burnout as an occupational phenomenon resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed—stress that, for women of color, is exacerbated by systemic pressures, the 'strong leader' myth, and invisible labor.
Info sessions happen Wednesdays at 1pm PT
“Many framed burnout as structural and cultural, not personal failure — and wanted a program that reflected their own identity.”
From The Research
53 Interviews with women of color leaders
88% Named community as essential to recovery
Why This Matters
COMPOUNDED PRESSURE
The "strong leader" myth, invisible labor, and being "the only one" in the room intensify burnout beyond ordinary workplace stress.
Identity-Affirming Community
With a cohort that shares your experience of systemic pressure and invisible labor you receive validation, a place to be seen & heard.
THE REAL COST
Left unaddressed, it shows up as exhaustion, cynicism, and reduced effectiveness; eroding both well-being and organizational impact.
Practical Tools & Nature Based Healing
Engage in real, usable strategies — not more information — built for mission-driven leaders. Give your body permission to recover with guided hikes, breathwork, and somatic practices rooted in the Radical Nature Framework.
THE GAP WE’RE CLOSING
Most wellness resources treat burnout as an individual problem to self-manage. Rhythms of Renewal treats it as a systemic pattern.
Culturally Responsive
Our programming is uniquely designed to have content that reflects your culture and lived experience, not generic wellness. Leaning into traditional ways of healing & navigating life offers potent transformation.
Book a consultation call to find out if this program is a good fit for you.

The research, in their own words
This is what leaders said they actually needed
If you're the one everyone leans on — and no one's checking whether you're okay — that's not a personal failing. It's a pattern.
You're the only one in the room who looks like you — and everyone assumes you're fine.
✓ You've perfected the art of holding it together for everyone else, at your own expense.
✓ Saying no feels like it will cost you your credibility, so you keep saying yes.
✓ You've tried the self-care advice. It didn't touch the actual problem.
✓ Your body is starting to send signals your calendar refuses to listen to.
Rhythms of Renewal is the 8-week cohort built from 53 interviews with leaders exactly like you. Sound familiar?

Why I Created “Rhythms to Renewal”
Having gone through multiple cycles of burnout in my pre-entrepreneurial career, I’ve spent many years trying to figure out how to live a more balanced and sustainable lifestyle. As a recovering overgiver, empathic leader, and sensitive, my natural tendency to give first took a toll on me. It wasn’t until later in my career where I found out burnout was mainly structural. I needed a lot of support to pull me through to the other side.
Today, as I coach leaders who’s passion for justice and fairness flow through all parts of them, I know intimately what a journey towards a more balanced rhythm of give and take. This program allows me to show up for those who are ready to heal, recover, and make major shifts in very practical and transformative ways. In my experience of navigating through challenging circumstances, you may not know what’s ahead but you can feel something emerging. Having a community of leaders going through the same things creates a space of trust, exploration, and discovery. These containers are key to making it through to the other side standing stronger in your own power.
Who I Coach
I tend to attract clients much like myself; passionate leaders with a fervor for a just world. Leaders who push the edge of the status quo and often are the disruptors in their organizations. Most, not all, of my clients are BIPOC women doing mission-driven change work in organizations from corporate to small businesses to grassroots organizations. I work well with diverse leaders that are critical thinkers, truth tellers, healers, open-minded and progressive in their politics, and are hungry for more from this world.
How Long I’ve Coached
I’ve been a full time coach since 2016 and received my ICF certification (ACC) in 2017 from Leadership That Works (now only offered in India). On average I coach about 12 -15 private clients annually and also coach through consulting contracts. I can be found on directories such as LEAP, Therapinay, and Windcall Institute.
Questions leaders tend to ask us…
🌿 I don't have time for one more thing right now.
That's exactly the pattern this program exists to interrupt. Rhythms of Renewal is built for leaders with full calendars — the calls are 90 minutes, and if you join, the program is designed to give you energy back, not take more from you.
🌿 I've tried therapy, coaching, self-care — nothing sticks.
Most of what's out there treats burnout as something to manage alone. This is a cohort, not a solo practice — 88% of the leaders we interviewed said community was the missing piece. We also know that integration of newly learned skills and behaviors require a community keeping you accountable and championing you through the tough times.
🌿 Is this only for nonprofit Executive Directors?
Most participants hold leadership roles — EDs, supervisors, program managers — in nonprofit, education, environmental, or civic organizations. Our programming is ideal for women who have a lot at stake. Whether it’s managing a team, ensuring a mission is being fulfilled, meeting business expectations, you’ll need support. If you're a woman of color leader feeling chronically depleted, book a call and we'll talk through fit.
🌿 What does the consultation call actually involve?
A short, honest conversation about what you're carrying right now and whether Rhythms of Renewal is the right next step — no sales pressure, no obligation to join.
