Journalism has a people problem.

It’s not that there aren't enough people; it's that too much of the industry doesn't treat its people particularly well.

The work itself is vital to our very democracy, rewarding — and grueling.

The news doesn't care if you need a break, and most newsrooms don't have the capacity to give you one anyway.

Too many journalists are overworked, underappreciated and on an out-of-control trauma treadmill.

We need a better way.

We need a way that honors journalists’ humanity and autonomy, a way that is as much about the people who produce the news as it is about profiting from it.

Coaching isn't the only solution to journalism’s people problem, but it's a powerful one. I can’t take on the whole industry — yet — but I can meet individual journalists where they are. I can help them get grounded and reclaim their power and agency.

You don't control the treadmill, but you can control how you engage with it. You can set boundaries that center you as a human being.

There is a person behind your byline, and that person deserves the chance to write their own story.
