KidneyClarity™ is a course designed to provide clear, practical guidance on managing chronic kidney disease (CKD) through nutrition and lifestyle changes.
Currently in its beta phase, the program helps participants build the skills and confidence they need to live well with CKD. Along with this, we created the Kidney Kindness Fund, a pay-it-forward program inspired by a scholarship that changed my life. The fund uses revenue from paid services to offer kidney nutrition education to those in need without requiring proof of financial hardship, just by sharing their story. These efforts make up a Social Enterprise dedicated to raising awareness, providing support, and improving lives affected by CKD.

Rooted in psychology, education, and mountain culture, our work equips guides, patrollers, SARS, and communities with tools to compassionately connect with empathy, self-awareness, and regulation.
Emotional intelligence is as essential as physical skill and knowledge in adventurous environments. Our programs blend somatic awareness, interpersonal neurobiology, and expression to foster resilience and authentic connection. We develop emotional intelligence by facilitating self-awareness, empathy, and emotional regulation. Pretty Moving’s mission is to shift mountain culture toward emotional connectivity, bolstering a safety net to support the emotional, physical, and mental trials of loss and grief in the backcountry.

RIPPLE-ACTION's purpose is to amplify voices for urgent change -- in the world, in humanity, and in our own lives -- to ensure not only a better tomorrow, but that there will be a tomorrow. As a social impact business, its purpose will be more than just creating an online retail platform to market cool looking, fashion-forward social impact apparel and other merch (collectively called, "RippleWear"), but instead, it is intent on increasing awareness of our myriad global challenges and creating a global movement (several movements in truth!) that call for more expeditious and bolder change in the world. RIPPLE-ACTION too will create a global community of "Ripplers" -- making change-makers of ordinary people who will display their social impact messages via their "RippleWear"...to STAND UP! BE SEEN! BE HEARD!

Crowded, noisy public spaces often overwhelm the 1 in 6 U.S. children with developmental disabilities or sensory differences, which can be extremely isolating for entire families. The Third Place for Kids is Colorado’s first 3,000-square-foot, sensory-informed community center where children can play safely while caregivers connect in a calm, judgment-free environment. Unlike for-profit sensory gyms, we are a nonprofit organization that focuses on the well-being of the entire family, rather than prioritizing revenue.
In our first months, we have served over 350 families and enrolled over 100 members with a 99% retention rate, confirming both need and loyalty. Our goal is to strengthen this flagship and share the blueprint with communities across the country that still lack an inclusive “third place".

We live at a time when attention has become a commodity and everything is reflected outward, causing us to lose the psychic anchors that inform self-knowledge. This loss creates a gap between the stories we tell ourselves about who we are and who we want to become and as a result, we struggle with our well-being, mental health, and social connection. TRUEjourney is a learning journal powered by reflection with a voice interface. It is a tool to help us reclaim our story for purposeful self-knowledge based on human-centered AI pattern recognition analysis.
