Hi! I’m Elizabeth (she/her) and I am honored to work with adults with careers in journalism recover from burnout and stress. With a background in journalism, I understand how conflicting it can be to witness events that cut deep due to the emotional impact they bring. The events in today’s climate highlight that impact even more. Whether it’s covering ICE, political rallies, school shootings, war, or protests, the value systems that you align with are at odds with what is going on. This can multiply the impact covering these events has. You deserve a sacred place to talk about these impacts, and explore ways to support your body and mind in feeling safe again.
