Guiding care-centered changemakers to prepare for crisis - without burning out
I support nonprofit leaders, educators, and community builders to build resilience, foster connection, and lead creatively - so you can respond to crisis with clarity and care while co-creating a just and sustainable future.
I run workshops, speak at events, and coach care-centered leaders like you.
Whether you’re preparing your community for the challenges of the climate and political change, navigating burnout due to doing it all alone, or dreaming of more just and sustainable ways of being - I offer practical and creative tools to help you move forward.
​​​​​​​​
You don't have to do it alone.
If you’re a care-centered changemaker, chances are you're the one others rely on:
-
implementing the DEI strategy
-
holding space for climate anxiety
-
finding ways to offer the same services with less capacity and funding
-
knowing what to do in an emergency
-
. . . and more
But what happens when needs increase and resources decrease - not just for your community, but also for you?
Together, we develop sustainable practices rooted in:
-
Community care - because care givers aren't always great care receivers
-
Inclusive preparedness - because leaving people behind is not an option
-
Collective imagination - because the future we need must be built together

Ways to work together
​
Whether you're facing a climate emergency, organizational burnout, or the weight of holding too much for too long - there's a path forward.
I support care-centered changemakers like you to lead with clarity, courage, and community in a colonial world where we may aspire for community care but struggle to action it in our communities, workplaces and organizations.

Let's build the future we want to see, together.
It’s not a matter of if crisis will affect your community - it’s a matter of when. But you can start preparing now, so when it happens, you respond with clarity, creativity, and care. This isn’t just about surviving the emergency - it’s about building a future that’s more just, sustainable, and connected.
The 3 Pillars of
Inclusive Community Preparedness
Creativity
as
Resistance
Lead with agility during social and climate crises.
Build practices of imagination, play, and experimentation to resist overwhelm, scarcity, and perfectionism - and interrupt colonial urgency through joy and innovation
Connection
as
Preparedness
Ground your leadership in land-informed, anti-oppressive relationships.
Strengthen community connections before, during, and after crisis - so you're not preparing (or responding) alone.
Compassion
as
Catalyst
Build social change that’s sustainable for you and your people.
Through self- and collective-compassion, we create space for accountability, care, and transformative action without recreating systems of harm.
“Every crisis … needs to be viewed as an opportunity to bring about profound changes in our society … by creating images and stories of the future that help us imagine and create alternatives to the existing system.”

Hi,
I am Daniela!
(she/they)
I’m an inclusive prepper, liberatory futurist, care-centered community builder and artist for social change who always believed change begins with creativity and education.
​
After almost 2 decades in frontline mental health and community work, I saw how often we do “good” work in systems not built to actually heal us - systems that keep us overgiving, overwhelmed, and too tired to reimagine what’s possible.
​
Inclusive Community Preparedness is where care-centered changemakers meet the urgency of crisis with creativity, care, and collective action - to build a just, sustainable future beyond the crisis.
Crises will continue to accelerate - but so can our capacity to respond, together.
