Why Tactful Disruption®️?
Change at the individual level requires more than a surface makeover—it requires a skillful approach to mindset transformation. While it’s easy to change our hair, clothes, or conversations, convincing the mind—or even aligning the spirit—takes something deeper. That’s where Tactful Disruption®️ steps in. We work with individuals and organizations to spark meaningful change that goes beyond the surface and resonates on a profound level.
What’s the ‘Boldly Editing Workplace Italics’ Mindset?
Italicizing is about emphasis—drawing attention to something important or noteworthy. In writing, italics make things stand out or invite us to pay attention to the fine print. In life, they represent the things we highlight or focus on, often unintentionally.
At Tactful Disruption®️, we challenge individuals to reframe and “edit” their italics:
What are you emphasizing in your life?
Does it align with your goals and values?
This mindset encourages individuals to reimagine their personal and professional narratives with clarity and intention.
Why the Mannequins?
The wood mannequins symbolize universality, transformation, and adaptability. Their blank faces allow clients to project their own stories and experiences onto the imagery, creating a connection that feels personal yet universal.
By sparingly using my own image, the focus shifts from me to your journey. The mannequins reflect your potential to evolve, adapt, and thrive in any environment.
Is Tactful Disruption®️ All About Science?
Not quite. Tactful Disruption®️ is a blend of science, theory, and spirituality. This unique combination allows us to address the full spectrum of human needs—logical, emotional, and spiritual. It’s this integrated approach that sets us apart from traditional mental health or coaching services.
What is ‘Heal the Ages®️’?
Our flagship program, Heal the Ages®️, takes clients through a transformational journey using Erik Erikson’s psychosocial development theory. It helps you understand your personal history while empowering you to break old patterns and build a future aligned with your goals. Think of it as an opportunity to rewrite your story, chapter by chapter.
Can I Book a Session?
Absolutely. If something we’ve said resonates with you, you can book a session to explore it further. We often recommend starting with the Selfies®️ Deck—a tool to help you gain insight into unspoken situations. It’s an intuitive and fun way to start your journey.
What About Leadership or Entrepreneurship?
For leaders and entrepreneurs, we offer consulting packages to help transform your ideas into actionable strategies (and potential invoices). If you’re not quite ready, we recommend starting with a mental health coaching package to address emotional blockages and develop the mindset required for success.
What About Facilitation?
We facilitate in various capacities, including as an adjunct professor of psychology. Teaching the next generation of mental health professionals often inspires us to create exclusive content for Heal the Ages®️. We’re committed to bridging academia, mental health, and entrepreneurship.
Are You Really Psychic?
Not exactly—I prefer to think of myself as a prophetess. My faith in God informs my work, and I stand by the power of the tongue. Words hold energy, and when used with intention, they have the power to create transformation.
Are You an Artist?
Yes, I’m a creative intuitive. My passion for the performing arts, lyricism, and storytelling informs much of my work. This creative perspective allows me to craft transformative tools, like the Selfies®️ Oracle Deck, that inspire introspection and growth.
What Does ‘Nike of Mental Health’ Mean?
It’s a bold statement—but it’s grounded in truth. Nike, the Greek goddess of victory, represents resilience, wisdom, and divine strength. Like Nike, Tactful Disruption®️ champions victory—helping you overcome challenges with precision, strategy, and purpose.
