Stop Drowning in Privilege Guilt.
Start Living Your Liberation.
For women ready to transform inherited advantages into authentic, joy-filled action—without the savior complex, performative activism, or soul-crushing shame.
You have resources. Education. Access. Safety.
And it's eating you alive.
The guilt follows you to every donation, every protest, every conversation about justice. You're exhausted from trying to be "one of the good ones" while terrified of being seen as part of the problem.
Meanwhile, your body is screaming. Your relationships are strained. And that vision of meaningful contribution? It feels further away than ever.
There's another way.
One that doesn't require you to perform perfect allyship or disappear into shame. Where your sensitivity becomes strength, your resources become tools for collective liberation, and your joy becomes part of the revolution.
You, Beloved Amazing One,
are here to craft a new story.
Not as a hero who needs victims to save. Not as a martyr who sacrifices joy in the name of justice.
But as someone who knows that real change happens when we're resourced, not depleted. When we're nourished, not running on empty.
The humans drawn to work with me look like they have it all.
But underneath, they're paddling hard—caught between wanting to create change and needing to sustain themselves.
That’s why . . .
We start by nurturing your freedom to enjoy being alive.
We start by cultivating your unique version of vitality
Imagine feeling at peace at the end of the day, knowing you did what was yours to do — and loved doing it.
Here is the delightful truth that I want you to know: It’s possible.
The choice in front of you isn’t “sacrifice everything to make things right” or “enjoy being alive.” This is a place for finding a third way.
Because you didn’t land in this impossible double bind by accident.
You’re part of a much bigger system that’s designed to keep you exhausted, ashamed and afraid.
I know firsthand how the poison of internalized sexism mixes with privilege + a side of deep sensitivity in unique ways that can make taking courageous, joy-filled action for what we believe in incredibly difficult.
In fact, I’ve found that women with lots of privileges, and sensitive hearts find it difficult to view their very real struggles is as “valid.” Or themselves as worthy of support.
Sometimes this leads to periods of intense service, followed by burnout and collapse.
Other times, they never really get started sharing their gifts and resources in the ways they know they “should” be capable of, because they’re stuck trying to get to a place where they feel good enough to do the good they believe in.
The sound baths are lovely. The retreats are inspiring, but life remains exhausting on the other side.
And the “who am I to complain?” voices don’t help. They just add a scoop of guilt on top of the depletion Sundae they're already suffocating under.
This is the place where we interrupt depleting patterns and create sustainable, joyful, unique-to-you ways forward that increase your capacity to take action for a more just and loving world.
Because your perpetual suffering isn’t going to make racism go away. But you doing your work could.
You don’t need to be a hero.
Or a savior.
We don’t need any more of those.
Heroes need powerless victims to save. And that’s not who your fellow humans are.
Besides, far too often, the idea of “saving” has been used as a justification for why certain people are in charge and others are expected to follow their orders, practice their customs, and believe what they deem right to believe.
( I bet you’ve been on the wrong side of that set-up more than once.)
You will craft a new way forward, alongside many others.
Special and unique in your quest, but not alone.
Sovereign and powerful in your own right, but not one who rules over or goes forth and conquers.
Together, we can find your way.
How do we do it?
-
Our coaching sessions will be a place where you feel deeply held and able to bring your whole self, so you can relax and find new ways forward that you couldn’t see before. Together we’ll uncover what delights you and loosen your joy.
We’ll meet in-person (Baltimore) or virtually for 60-75 minutes, two or three times a month, depending on your package.
-
We’ll integrate trauma informed embodiment practices into our work together - things like breathwork, dance, movement practices, pleasure practices that help you tap into your life force energy, and other simple but powerful actions that help you to calm anxiety and feel connected to your body, so you feel energized to do what’s yours to do and able to fully relax when its time for rest.
-
You have me in your back pocket through the Voxer app, so when you’re about to say yes to yet another board when you know your already maxed out, you can connect for a reminder about what you want most. Because the no is really a yes to something else!
-
We’ll cultivate action in the places where your heart most wants to serve now, with the capacity you already have. You don’t have to wait until you’re “fixed,” rich or your kids have left the house. But you also don’t need to live in perpetual sacrifice. Compassionate activism starts with compassion for you.
Here are a few examples of the kinds of changes you may experience from our work together:
Release from guilt about being white and peace in knowing that you don’t have to be perfect to be making a difference, so you start showing up the way you want to.
Clarity that allows you to so no to work that’s important, but not yours to do - and to do the work that is, so you stop feeling exhausted and start feeling inspired.
The courage to speak up for what you believe in at family gatherings even when it feels scary and uncomfortable, so you don’t have to eat your thoughts instead.
Improved physical health and energy, so you can work for change with a vitality you didn’t know was possible.
Freedom to enjoy the life you have while you increase your capacity to be proximate to suffering without collapsing or falling apart.
You can create a life that you want to wake up to.
You can take action from your heart instead of from obligation.
And when you do, not only will you experience the incredible delight of living in connection to a diverse, delightful community of loving, joyful humans.
But you will help to bring about changes that humanity is longing for.
If you want this, I’m here for it. Let’s get started.

Testimonials

Before Deb and I worked together I was deep in a tunnel vision of blame and shame, trying to understand what was going on for me and in my significant relationships – around race especially. I was stuck. After working with Deb I feel less stuck. And I have a more nuanced understanding of which things are my responsibility and which are shared.”

“Because of working with Deb, I have a calmness that I’ve never had before even when things are really difficult. Not a detached dissociation, but a calmness. It just seems to grow when I notice it!"

“I no longer believe I have to live in a perpetual cycle of suffering in order for the world to be a better place. I no longer believe that God alone creates my destiny. I believe that I am working with God. I’m a co-creator with God in my destiny and the fulfilling of that destiny. I’m a lot more self-confident. I now believe that I’m really, really powerful and capable of steering the course of my life."
