These are notes from the inside — of leadership, of change, of staying whole in the face of systems that often ask us not to be. The Olive Pages is where care and clarity meet, one reflection at a time.
The Olive Pages
Fieldnotes on care, clarity and staying whole.
Announcing ‘The Olive Work’ on Substack
Introducing The Olive Work - a new space for deeper conversations on care, clarity, and staying whole in a breaking system. Why olives? Why now? And why this matters.
"The olive branch is more than a symbol of peace, it’s a reminder of the work it takes to nurture it."
We Don’t Talk About Moral Injury — But We Should
What you’re feeling might not be burnout — it might be betrayal. Moral injury is real, and it shows up when our work asks us to abandon what we believe in. We need to talk about it. And we need to heal from it.
“You can’t resilience your way out of betrayal.”
