naming the problem

You've seen it amongst your team: High turnover, silent suffering, burnout masked by high performance.

 

You’ve likely felt the weight yourself.

 

And chances are, your people - those deeply invested in your mission - are showing up tired, even when they care deeply.

​

Rebuild is where we partner with organizations and teams to shift from performative Diversity Equity & Inclusion (DEI), toxic urgency, and productivity-at-all-costs toward a culture rooted in care, clarity, and rest.

​

This isn’t a band-aid. This is a full-body exhale.

This isn't about productivity - it's about sustainability

This isn't just about morale - it’s about wellbeing.

 

  • 79% of employees report experiencing work-related stress.

  • 61% of employees report complete burnout, exacerbated by excessive workloads, poor communication, and toxic cultures.

  • 57% of workers report that stress has diminished their sense of purpose, accelerating turnover.

  • In the U.S. alone, absenteeism linked to depression and poor sleep costs businesses $44 billion and $44.6 billion per year.

  • Broader workplace inequities—such as unequal access to mentorship, disproportionate exposure to high-stress roles, and microaggressions—compound stress for marginalized groups.

  • Despite widespread availability, only 5% of employees use traditional Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs).

  • For social impact organizations, burnout-related turnover also incurs recruitment and training costs, which can total 50–200% of an employee’s annual salary

 

Restful Leadership brings the science of rest and the soul of liberatory leadership into a practical and transformational process that executive teams can trust.​

who we support

Rebuild is designed for:

​

  • Executive leaders who want to create sustainable, human-centered organizations

  • People & Culture teams ready to move beyond performative change and toward real transformation

  • QTBIPOC-led and equity-driven organizations that carry the weight of systemic harm and hope

  • Social service and youth-centered organizations led by those with lived expertise, navigating both burnout and deep care

  • Mission-driven teams experiencing fatigue, disconnection, or internal misalignment

  • Rest advocates inside systems seeking alignment between their values and workplace realities.
     

We partner with those who know firsthand that dismantling injustice inside organizations requires clarity, care, collective courage and most of all, rest.

the rebuild process

Systems as we have known them are being dismantled before our eyes.  The world needs leaders who are able to rebuild.  Rebuilding shouldn't happen in isolation.  You don't have to do this work alone.

​

The Rebuild Process

​

We start with where you are.  With breath.  With rest.  Then we:

  1. Listen deeply – through intentional inquiry and discovery

  2. Uncover patterns – burnout, harm, disconnect, or silence

  3. Identify who might be missing from your rebuilding efforts, ensuring that the work is collaborative and participatory.

  4. Co-create – thoughtful and actionable practices, rituals, boundaries, and rhythms that align with your values

  5. Support implementation – through coaching, retreats, or labs
