why this? why now?

The pandemic didn’t just disrupt business.

It rewired the workforce.

Now, climate anxiety, layoffs, automation fears, and relentless headlines form the background noise of daily life.

Today’s employee experience begins at home, with nervous systems on high alert. We’re drained by the attention economy and overloaded with AI slop and misinformation.

Trauma-informed communication cuts through the noise, builds trust, and helps people absorb what matters.

This isn’t about crisis response — it’s about designing communication strategies for the realities we face now.
