Awakened Vision Consulting
Building Resilient Organizations, Rooted in Strength & Vision
Journey to Trauma-Informed Leadership
Mission: At Awakened Vision Consulting, we are committed to transforming leadership, dismantling barriers, and elevating organizations through trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and human-centered strategies. Rooted in lived experience, resilience, and an unwavering belief in the power of change, we guide leaders and organizations to move beyond outdated systems and create spaces where people thrive, not just survive. Our mission is to ensure that no voice goes unheard, no struggle is dismissed, and no leader operates without understanding the profound impact of trauma, culture, and systemic inequities. Through education, advocacy, and strategic consulting, we help organizations lead with purpose, empathy, and the courage to create lasting impact.
Vision: At Awakened Vision Consulting, we envision a world where leadership is more than just authority it’s a force for healing, equity, and empowerment. A world where:
-
Organizations are built on trust, inclusivity, and respect, not just policies and procedures.
-
Leaders recognize the power of lived experience and embrace diversity as a strength, not a challenge.
-
Communities and workplaces are spaces of healing, resilience, and empowerment, where every individual feels valued and supported.
We are not just imagining a better future, we are building it. One organization, one leader, one system at a time.
Core Values
-
Resilience Over Circumstance: We believe that adversity does not define potential, resilience does. Our work is built on rising above the odds, turning struggle into strength, and helping others do the same.
-
Leadership with Purpose: Leadership is not about power, it’s about people. We challenge organizations to lead with purpose, integrity, and a deep commitment to the well-being of those they serve.
-
Cultural Humility and Inclusion: We honor the voices, experiences, and histories that have shaped individuals and communities. True leadership means acknowledging privilege, listening deeply, and making room at the table for those who have been silenced.
-
Trauma-Informed Transformation: We don’t believe in band-aid solutions. We dig deep, unearth systemic barriers, and help organizations build cultures where trust, safety, and empowerment are the foundation.
-
Authenticity in Action: We don’t just talk about change, we embody it. We lead with honesty, transparency, and a commitment to doing what is right, even when it’s difficult.
-
Empowerment Through Knowledge: Knowledge is power, and we exist to equip organizations and leaders with the tools, skills, and insights to create meaningful, lasting impact.
-
Systems Change for Future Generations: We are not here for short-term fixes. We are here to challenge broken systems, rewrite narratives, and lay the groundwork for a future where justice, equity, and opportunity are not privileges but guarantees.
We Are Here to Lead the Change.
At Awakened Vision Consulting, we are not just another consulting firm. We are a movement. A movement to break cycles, transform leadership, and create a world where organizations don’t just function they flourish.
This is not just business. This is personal. This is necessary. This is the future.

My Story
At Awakened Vision Consulting, we don’t just talk about trauma-informed leadership, we live it. I know firsthand the weight of trauma and the resilience it takes to move forward. Growing up on the Menominee Indian Reservation, I witnessed and experienced the deep impact of historical and intergenerational trauma. Colonization, boarding schools, and systemic barriers shaped the world around me, yet my parents instilled in me a belief that I could rise above any obstacle not just for myself, but for my community.
But life had its challenges. At 19, as a young mother, I was told I would never succeed. I was counted out before I even had the chance to begin. That moment could have defined me but instead, I chose to rewrite my story. I didn’t let assumptions dictate my future. I pushed forward, earning my degrees, stepping into leadership roles, and discovering that the way we lead matters just as much as what we achieve.
Through personal lived experience, a relentless curiosity, and the courage to challenge the status quo, I have come to understand that leadership is not just about making decisions it’s about creating environments where people feel seen, heard, and valued. Trauma-informed leadership is not a trend; it is a necessity. It’s about recognizing how lived experiences shape behavior, communication, and resilience.
When leaders embrace a trauma-informed approach, they do more than manage people, they empower them. They create spaces where healing is possible, where individuals can show up as their full selves without fear of judgment or re-traumatization. They understand that true change happens when we replace control with compassion, authority with understanding, and policies with purpose.
I built Awakened Vision Consulting because I know what it’s like to fight for a seat at the table. I know what it’s like to feel unseen, unheard, and undervalued. And I also know that we can do better.
This is how we move beyond merely surviving to truly thriving. This is how we create workplaces, communities, and systems that honor resilience and inspire transformation.
Let’s commit to leading with awareness, empathy, and the courage to create meaningful change because the future depends on the way we lead today.
