This episode is for all creatives out there who have ever experienced a professional disruption, like a layoff, reorg, toxic workplace, team transition, or even a promotion.

LET’S ROCK!

She specializes in grief & loss, trauma, depression, anxiety, burnout, life transitions, and stress-management.
