Start THRIVING for Equity


Hello, it’s nice to meet you!

I’m Deb Shine Valentine, M.A., Ph. D,

The people I work with care deeply.

About justice. About community. About their loved ones. They want to be of service. They long to make a meaningful contribution.

They also find themselves exhausted, overwhelmed, secretly resentful, or wondering if they will ever feel fully relaxed again.

My work helps good people stop treating their own humanity as the price of doing good.

Together we reconnect with self-trust, joy, and our shared humanity so you can create meaningful change without abandoning yourself in the process.

Not either/or.

Both/and.

Learn more about my approach.



Imagine it . . .

You still care deeply.

But you’re not taken out by those feelings.

And you no longer feel like you have to carry the weight of the world alone.

You trust yourself more.

You know what’s yours to do and what isn’t.

You intentionally carve out more room for wonder, delight, rest, and connection with the people you love.

And you don’t even feel guilty about it!

You’re contributing in ways that feel meaningful, sustainable and aligned with your most deeply held values.

You’re managing relationships and responsibilities with ease.

You have a strong sense of physical, emotional and spiritual well-being.

In other words . . .

YOU’RE THRIVING!

And the impact of that thriving reaches far beyond you.

Thats what we’re working towards here.

A more joyful life. A more just world. Neither at the expense of the other.
