The fallout

reactivity . shut down . low confidence . unhealthy coping . impaired careers health and relationships . burnout . anxiety . depression . migraines . shame . PTSD . cardiovascular and immune disorders … or worse.

Is this annoying — or toxic?
Am I overreacting — or under-responding?
Am I doing OK? Or even "coping"?
How do I show up for myself? 
You need more than guesswork and grit to navigate the suck.
And whiteknuckling through makes it worse.
Build yourself up with research-backed support tailored to your context and complete needs – in a format optimized for impact.

What participants say…

“It was wonderfully affirmative and made me confident, optimistic and feel less of a victim. Understanding the complexity of issues was very grounding.”

“We haven’t been taught to talk about work. It was more grounding than anything I’ve done before. It wasn't just positive psychology or fluffy stuff to 'keep pushing'.”

“I really liked the group's perspectives. I got a lot of clarity and could see different paths out of the same situation. The facilitation was much better than regular peer support groups.”

“With work we always come back to ‘what could I have done differently’. But this helps you understand what you’re up against and how to navigate it vs. fixating on what you could have done.”

“The communal aspect was very meaningful. It was real and honest but safe. Having other experiences to draw on was helpful and inspiring. It got me out of my victim mindset and sense of shame. Showing up with radical candor without pressure to perform, network or mentor was immensely helpful.”

“Therapy and coaching can struggle to track with your experiences. This was very relevant – there were no awkward spaces and always something to do. It was highly informed and solutions-focused.”

What participants say…

“I really enjoyed the reading. Curation was a big part of the experience. The insights and techniques were great.”

“Having a framework felt very comfortable, safe and productive. I liked the structure.”

“I got to connect with intellectual peers I’d never meet otherwise. I’ve never had a group of peers I could share real stuff with, that they’d understand. It’s hard to find this anywhere else.”

FAQs

Why groups?

Research shows that well-facilitated groups can sometimes be more helpful than 1-1 support [4] by making challenges easier to navigate. The resulting validation, adaptive coping, and accelerated cognitive and emotional shifts can unlock progress that could take months with solo processing.

Why not drop in sessions? Why 8 weeks?

To maximize value for you. Drop-in's are easy for us but not ideal for you.

Structured immersive experiences with the same group and live sessions are the hardest format to pull off – but optimal for you.

What if I don’t feel like sharing?

You don’t have to. People are surprised by how much they get from simply listening. You’ll never be pushed to share more than you want, what one participant called "radical candor, without the pressure."

What is the time commitment?

This is a deeply researched, richly curated, comprehensive program. It takes 15-30 minutes to skim the articles, 90 minutes to attend the virtual session, and as much/little time as you want for the exercises in between. The more you put into it, the more you’ll get out of it – it’s really up to you.  

Is this therapy?

No it’s not therapy or medical advice. It’s education, skill-building, and peer support. All of which can be life-changing — and are often missing even when clinical care is in place.It is not a substitute for therapy, medical advice, or licensed healthcare. No provider-client relationship is established. If you need clinical or crisis care, please seek it from a qualified provider.

What is it?

It's not therapy — though it draws from evidence-based modalities. It's not coaching — though you can build practical strategy and skills. It's not a webinar, a drop-in group, or an inspirational TED talk. 

It's a structured, richly curated experience with expert insights and resources, and live facilitation – designed ground-up for meaningful progress.

Is this confidential?

Absolutely. Nothing is recorded. We never share anything with any third party. All information is strictly confidential and anonymized, even for internal use. 

We’re just getting started.

About us

It’s never been easier to find support but the “right support” can still be hit or miss. We’re here to change that – with solutions designed ground-up for exceptional support.

“My career’s been driven by a desire to empower people when they’re vulnerable." 

After the system failed me, I went on to build solutions to live healthier and happier that have reached millions. 
I've been on both sides: I’ve navigated support for my own setbacks and built the gamut of solutions to support health and wellbeing. I know what good support looks like and how hard it can be to find due to systemic issues. I’m building Tonik to close that gap – starting with issues I am very familiar with.
