Design a Life You Love.

The Problem Isn't You

You wake up already tired. You power through your day, then collapse at night with nothing left. The hobbies you used to love feel like chores. Your weekends are spent recovering just enough to survive the next week.

You've been told that if you're burned out, it's because you're not resilient enough—so you've tried everything: therapy, boundaries, apps, self-care routines, books, courses, and training. But you're still exhausted. Nothing seems to work.

Here's why: you're not the problem.

What We Believe

It's not bubble baths after work. It's not meditation or productivity apps you downloaded and never open. It's not a reward you earn once everything else is done.

True wellness is the foundation that makes everything else possible. It only exists when rest, creativity, and meaningful connection are woven into everything you do—not added on top of an already overflowing plate.

Wellness isn't what you've been told it is.

The resiliency narrative misses the point.

We take a different approach.

We've been told that burnout is a personal problem requiring personal resilience. Learn to bounce back. Build your capacity. Adapt to the demands.

But here's the truth: You're not burned out because you lack resilience. You're burned out because you've been forced to abandon rest, connection, and creativity to succeed.

The resiliency trend is a band-aid. It doesn't address the real problem: hustle culture and the glorification of busyness, which are destroying our wellbeing, and ironically, our productivity.

We don't help you "bounce back," "do more with less," or "build your capacity to endure." We help you reclaim what's been abandoned and redesign how you work and live—without adding more to your plate. We address the root cause, not just the symptoms.

Because sustainable success isn't about enduring more. It's about building a life and workplace that treats rest, creativity, and connection as essential—not as luxuries to sacrifice.

Hi, I'm Sonia

I spent 12+ years as a lawyer in high-pressure child welfare work—managing legal departments, training staff, and carrying cases involving some of the most vulnerable children in crisis.

I was the person who had it together. Until I didn't.

Burnout isn't a personal failure. It's a systemic issue. And the "solutions" we've been sold—resilience training, self-care Sundays, better time management—don't address the root cause.

I left my legal career to teach what actually works: reclaiming rest, creativity, and connection as foundational practices, not rewards. I use my experience in high-stakes leadership and my own journey through burnout to help professionals and organizations redesign how they work and live.

Because you shouldn't have to abandon yourself to succeed.

How It Works

Real change doesn't come from adding more to your plate. It comes from reclaiming what you've abandoned and weaving it into everything you do.

Meaningful Connection

Connection to yourself, your purpose, and the people who matter. We help you rebuild what hustle culture eroded.

Creativity

Creativity isn't just art—it's problem-solving, play, and rediscovery. We show you how to reclaim it without treating it like another task.

Intentional Rest

Rest isn't a reward—it's a requirement. We help you integrate rest into your workday, not just your weekends.

Our approach is built on three foundational practices:
