“I believe people should not have to lose themselves to keep a job, lead a team, or serve a mission.”
Workplace bullying is not just conflict. Burnout is not a personal failure. Loneliness is not always about being alone. This work is compassionate, but it is not passive. It is direct, but not shaming. It is clinical, cultural, organizational, and deeply human.
