You're the one everyone turns to.
But who supports you?
If you’ve been snapping, shutting down, or lying awake rehearsing how to handle a tough conversation… you’re not alone. What you need is a space where you can exhale. Where you’re not performing. Not fixing. Not holding it all together for everyone else.
​
A space to be seen. Heard. Supported.
Because you already know a lot of this stuff — how to communicate, how to lead with empathy. But when you're overwhelmed or stuck in survival mode, knowing isn’t enough.
That's where I come in.
I help emotionally exhausted leaders move from stuck to steady.
​
Not just with tools— but by creating the safe, supportive conditions you need to integrate what you know into how you lead, one conversation at a time.
Support that Meets you Where You Are
Coaching
One-on-one support to process, reflect, and take grounded action.
Team Facilitation
Address problems while developing new skills in real time.
Conflict Mediation
Navigate tough conversations that elevates relationships.
Trainings and Workshops
Learn trauma-informed tools for leadership, communication, and change.

About Ariana
Hi, Ariana Friedlander, MPA here. For over 20 years, I've helped mission-driven leaders navigate the hardest parts of their work - and themselves - with compassion and clarity.
​
I bring neuroscience research, trauma-informed practices, and a whole-person approach to everything I do. Because you deserve more than just another book to read or podcast to listen to — you deserve to be seen.
Support for mission-driven leaders who:
-
Are busy juggling caregiving at home with growing demands at work
-
Want to stop wasting time managing people’s conflicts and do more of the work that really matters
-
Must navigate complex team dynamics without burning bridges
-
Are tired of being overwhelmed and want to feel grounded and in control again
-
Want to empower others — without depleting yourself in the process
Are you ready to move from stuck to thriving?

"Ariana provided mediation services between two team members who’s conflict was negatively impacting the rest of our staff. Her expert guidance enabled us to navigate a difficult conversation in a constructive fashion that has resulted in better communication and lower levels of stress all around."
Margie Wagner, Director of the Center for Adult Learning, Front Range Community College
"We had been through a tumultuous year of change and were unable to get ourselves onto a harmonious path. Ariana worked with us to design a customized training that helped us identify where we were stuck and how to communicate more effectively moving forward. It was a game-changer!"
Director of Talent Development
"Ariana got our team talking like never before. I highly recommend her services to anyone that wants to foster a more collaborative workplace."
