The silent pressure to keep showing up… no matter the cost. Chronic stress. Nervous system overload. Secondary trauma masked as commitment. This is the invisible epidemic. But this June 3–5, we interrupt the culture of self-sacrifice. This is survival infrastructure. This is a return to sovereignty.

So why do we? Our ancestors understood something we've forgotten: that rest is not luxury. That nourishment is not selfish. That your body's signals matter. For reproductive justice leaders, midwives, doulas, clinicians, and everyone holding life in their hands, burnout is not a systems problem. It's time to reclaim what our Grand midwives knew. HEALING THE TRAUMA OF REPRODUCTIVE JUSTICE & MATERNAL HEALTH LEADERSHIP A 3-Day Virtual Summit June 3–5, 2026 | 1–5 PM ET Learn the biology of what you've been carrying. Get language for your own healing. Become part of a movement that refuses to sacrifice leaders for the sake of service. Because your life matters too.

Grand midwives didn't just deliver babies; they carried wisdom. 🤍 They knew rest was resistance. They knew boundaries were love. They knew healing was generational. Join us June 3-5 for the Healing Trauma of Reproductive Justice & Maternal Health Leadership Summit and reclaim the legacy of our ancestors. Learn more →

I was breaking down. And no one knew how to tell me. As someone who spent my life helping trauma survivors, I couldn’t see my own crisis addiction. My deteriorating health. The body screaming for help. When I was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer, I had to ask: Why don’t we have professionals trained to recognize these signs early? So I created the answer: a 12-Week Stress Recovery Certification Course—designed to train YOU to be that person for others. And for yourself. Learn from a functional medicine practitioner, mental health expert, herbalist, and stress recovery specialists. Get live 90-minute sessions with me. Access actionable resources and proven frameworks. This course trains leaders, healers, and changemakers to: ✓ Spot burnout before collapse ✓ Hold space for real recovery ✓ Transform crisis addiction into resilience ✓ Lead from wholeness Whether you lead in your home, community, organization, or boardroom—this certification is for you. The course starts THIS THURSDAY. Spots are filling. Register now. 🔗 restoreny.org → Institute → Enroll Now It is not too late. 🤍​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Most systems are designed to respond only after collapse. We built something different. The Integrative Stress Recovery Coach™ Certification trains peer leaders to recognize stress patterns across body, behavior, and context — and build cultures of prevention within organizations. War. Public emergency. Public health. Communal uprisings. Climate crisis. We prepare you for all of it. 12 weeks | Thursdays 12PM | Virtual | Starts April 30 Join the Guardian Network of Leader Health 🔗 restoreny.org

Day 2 of the Virtual Summit: Healing the Trauma of Activist Leadership. Today, leaders came with feelings they had carried for years, and left with words for them. The S.O.V.E.R.E.I.G.N.™ Map gave language to what so many bodies have been trying to say. Stress that had no name. Burnout that had no framework. Pain that had been dismissed as weakness,finally seen for what it truly is. We were honored to be joined today by Dr. Dieudonné Jean Baptiste, whose wisdom and expertise helped leaders understand their bodies, their stress load, and the path toward healing in a way that felt both eye-opening and deeply validating. This is what happens when leaders are given the tools to finally see themselves clearly. Day 3 is tomorrow, and there is still time to join us. Intervention. Culture Shift. Community. Tools you can use immediately. Come as you are. Leave with what you need. 🙏 📅 March 20 | 1PM–5PM ET | Virtual 🔗 Register at bit.ly/healingactivists | Learn more at restoreny.org
