“I invest in my socioemotional well-being, as a political leader, to reduce the risk of burnout, isolation, or responding to the appropriate anger and concerns of our constituents in a way that does not reflect who I want to be. We need to take care of ourselves and be in community so we take care of one another and remind each other we are not alone in this uniquely demanding, high-profile role.”

— Kesha Ram Hinsdale, State Senator, Chittenden County, VT

“What's possible in the spaces created by the Civic Courage Lab is unraveling, unwinding, and unlearning self-imposed or societal limitations in a supportive space with peers. This allows elected leaders to grow and become the leaders our world needs and deserves.”

— Raaheela Ahmed, School Board, Prince George County, MD

If you are —

feeling isolated in your leadership role

unsure where to turn for honest support

someone who wants to experience more

integrity, clarity, and alignment

craving a space where you don’t have to

pretend you have it all figured out

or if you have been —

burning out behind the scenes

while holding it together in public

questioning how long you can

keep doing things the same way and survive

silently carrying

the emotional weight of your work, with nowhere to put it

… then this is for you

Hello, I’m Skippy

I didn’t grow up imagining I’d work in politics, but I always knew I wanted to help. My path has been shaped by both deep wounds and big wins: from early struggles with self-worth and emotional health, to the honor of serving in public office during a time of global uncertainty. Along the way, I realized that systems can’t heal unless the people leading them do. So I turned inward, did the work, and built tools to help others do the same.
