Want a little relief from healthcare stress?Â
Find validation, connection, and time to breathe—45 minutes every second Friday.
Maybe you're too busy. Maybe it's low staff morale, communication issues, or you're taking work home mentally.Â
These are the exact words hundreds of healthcare leaders say to me. They also tell me what they need: To feel heard. Validated. Open conversations without judgment. To look forward to coming to work again.
Every second Friday at lunch, I host a free 45-minute virtual space where leaders can:
- Bring racing thoughts and questions
- Listen, camera off—no pressure
- Ask questions in a safe space
- Connect and be energized
When leaders have a place where they don't have to worry—where they share their thoughts and questions freely—something shifts. The firefighting eases. You leave feeling lighter.
Free. Confidential. No catch.

[What is a Free Flow Friday?]
If you're like most healthcare leaders, you entered this role to do meaningful work that makes a difference.
But now? Your mind is always busy. Communication issues. Low staff morale. Taking work home mentally. The harder you work, the worse it gets.
This is completely normal in a trauma-organized system—where crisis dictates the pace and everyone's in fight, flight, or freeze.
Here's what changes when leaders create safety:
Trauma-Organized Reality → Safe Space Leadership
- Mind always busy → Time to reflect
- Communication breakdowns → Open conversations
- Gossip and cliques → One big team
- Exhaustion and burnout → Energy for work and life
- Taking work home → Actually work your shift times
- Low staff morale → Looking forward to coming to work
New org charts, retention programs, or working harder will never help people feel safe and connected.
Real change happens when you stop long enough to breathe.
When leaders experience what it feels like to be heard, validated, and supported—without judgment—they naturally create that for their teams. That's when OT drops. Retention rises. The firefighting stops.
This is Safe Space Leadership: Leading from presence, not pressure.
Free Flow Fridays are where you experience this firsthand. Every second Friday at lunch, we gather virtually for 45 minutes. You bring your racing thoughts, your "what-ifs," your impossible situations. You leave feeling lighter, with something practical that actually works.
No theory. No homework. Just a confidential space where healthcare leaders remember what connection, laughter, and support actually feel like—and learn to create it in the chaos.
Your invitation: Start experiencing conversations that help you and your team feel safe, respected, and energized again.
