UnBound
Rise to Limitless Leadership
A one-on-one mentorship program for rising or established leaders.
Unbound is a safe space for you to rewrite the story of your past pain and traumas, break through self-doubt and rise into your highest personal and professional leadership potential.
This is a call to powerfully transform your personal adversity into limitless possibility for both yourself and all humanity.
Change starts with(in) you.
You know you’re an influential changemaker here to make a global impact, but the resistance rooted in your past hardships and trauma are still holding you back….
Here are 4 signs you may be in this place:

The residue of the pain from your past, especially big T traumas is sabotaging your efforts on embodying your full inner and outer leadership abilities and preventing you from amplifying your mission in the world. You have reached a place of stagnancy or just cannot seem to break through to your next level of leadership because your inner world feel heavy and broken inside despite your brave front and ambition.
You show up as a leader on the outside but can't seem to break through the inner feelings of self-doubt. You look like a leader but don't truly feel like one on the inside. You have a big mission and have seen some success but underneath the brave front your inner critic is loud with beliefs like I'm not good enough, I'm not worthy enough. Your past traumas are coming up to the surface again to be looked at.
Imposter syndrome has got a hold of you. Underneath the big goals, you feel afraid of being judged, rejected, alone, and misunderstood even though you do your best to hide this fear from others. This is preventing you from showing up the way you want to and as a result, you don't get your books or projects out into the world.
You feel the weight of the world on your shoulders as a leader. Perfectionism, self-criticism, and seeking validation from others drive your actions and decisions more than you want to admit. You are ready to stop pressuring yourself to show up as a perfect human and instead embrace and illuminate your own unique and imperfectly compelling humanness.
You are meant for more.
Maybe you've already tried a heap of healing or leadership productivity hacks...but still find yourself stuck and bonded to the pain of your past?
Maybe you're no stranger to the self-help world, and have a bookcase full of productivity, business, and philosophy books — but you've reached a place where no amount of affirmations or productivity checklists are going to work at the depth your soul needs right now.
Maybe you've even worked with traditional therapy before on your big T traumas and done the mindset training — but the remnants of your past pain are still projecting out into your life, and you're ready to work with someone one-on-one who not only knows the world of trauma, but the realm of true leadership too.
Re-writing the old scripts and transforming your personal adversity into power — is the first and most important step to claiming your leadership potential.
Real change starts with(in) you.
It's time to let go of the fear of fully showing up as you are and instead allow yourself to be the changemaker you were born to be.
Are you desiring to call in this future reality?
1
✓ Honor and love yourself for who you truly are and not hide pieces of yourself from the world in order to satisfy your intense craving for a sense of belonging and acceptance. Often we feel we can't show our pain, weakness or feelings as leaders, but in reality, this is exactly what makes us the most influential in helping those we serve beyond measure and it is finally time to live that reality free from worry, rejection or judgement.
2
✓ Transform the residue from your trauma into fierce purpose and determination for your life and the greater good because you don't want to see anyone suffer in the ways you unfortunately know. Catalyze your mission, message or movement as you infuse the golden nuggets of your past experiences, wisdom and one-of-a kind nature into our world.
3
✓ Build more resiliency and stronger unshakeable self-reliance to preserve and thrive in all areas of life. Further grow your self-reliance beyond what you thought was possible, all while embracing connection, and depth, and fostering personal support networks as you build emotional and mental resilience.
4
✓ Make choices from a place of grace vs. being led by the need to please, be perfect, or out-perform. Allow imposter syndrome, people pleasing, fear of launching, procrastination and perfectionism to fade away as you follow your inner voice boldly stepping into the unknown with confidence, trust and surrender of the outcome.

An overview of the journey:
Chapter 1 - Backstory & Blockages
We will spend the first couple of weeks onboarding. After the initial onboarding process, we will begin exploring your backstory and any blockages you may have. Information picked here will be key along our journey and essential in re-writing your new story. Plan on spending time deeply sourcing feelings, beliefs, memories, etc. from as far back as you can remember and discovering the common patterns that surface in each. Characters, plot, and settings will help us paint the complete picture in your deepest blockages and greatest breakthroughs.
Chapter 2 - Hidden Meanings & Regret Releasing
Over the course of about a month, we will dive deep into hidden meanings and release past regrets. We will work on processing pain, grief, loss, and sorrow both old and new. We will aim in gaining necessary closure, pursue forgiveness, and find peace, especially within ourselves. We will spend time clarifying where your hope, time, and energy could instead be going. The goal here is to stop repeating cycles or impulsively reacting to life and instead respond in a way that is more attuned to you by pinpointing hidden meanings and regrets that are running our life.
Chapter 3 - Components of Self-Concept & Courage
In this module, we will spend about a month focusing on essential nourishment for your mind, body, and soul during the different events and phases in your life. We will increase your self-concept by building self-belief, reliance, resilience, and confidence in who you truly are and what magic you are capable of. We will implement the key to turning your pain into purpose as you build your brave each step of the way. You will also know how to identify your triggers and coping mechanisms and replace them with loving methods.
Chapter 4 - Detachment & Development
In module four, we will spend approximately a month detaching from the areas. of dislike in the life you are living, and develop the beautiful burning dream you have inside, your skills and gifts, support tribe, and resources to live your calling. You will practice leading your own life the way you want and leaving your grace-filled legacy for others to experience if you wish. We will hone in on your superpowers as we begin to develop and outline a new storyline for your life as well as foster strategies that will help you move your message or mission into the world.
Chapter 5 - Meaningful Memoir & Mission Blueprint
We will spend the last two weeks of our journey together drafting your new story— a memoir filled with new personal meaning. Craft your new story using real writing tools and live in full confidence you have what it takes to get to where you want to be. You will also have a clear map of your purpose and how to implement the first steps or further develop what is in place already. You will be able to use your unique story for the greater good and build your risk-taking muscle so you may bust through limiting irrational fears more often.
Unbound is an unparalleled one-of-a-kind mentorship experience uniting the realms of both trauma and leadership.
Traditional leadership trainings often focus on external leadership skills and forget the human part of us.
Standard trauma-informed work often focuses on the inner healing work without the context of leadership
This program lies at the intersection of passionate leadership and profound healing. Integrating and balancing the true intricacies of your past and the potential for your future with the practicalities of your current reality.

What makes this program different?
Guided by Mandi
Leadership & Trauma Mentor
Something you should know upfront about me...
I believe all beings hold immense beauty and value to our world. If we can choose to move past harm and focus on the good in people, this world, and our potential (especially within ourselves), then we can heal the wrongs in this life, craft a better future and build a contagious momentum for pushing our world forward.
I have lived a bit of a disjunctive life and career but wouldn’t have it any other way. I have fought some harsh battles (after avoiding the aftermath of them for many years) and have walked with thousands of others on their journey to do the same.
I have earned a BS in Education, an M.Ed. in Leadership, and a wellness coaching certification through IIN. I am also working on both Global Leadership and Social Innovation Diplomas through the UN's University for Peace. Expertise includes social-emotional competencies, mental health and wellbeing, leadership development, service learning, organizational development, strategic design, and strengthening relationship and partnership skills.
I have held leadership roles in public education, healthcare, and nonprofit organizations as well as corporate entities. But my favorite is the eclectic one-on-one work I get to do helping provide access to new paths for leaders to rise into their destined greatness— which always stems from the golden gems hidden in their past.
Emotionally resolve your struggles, rewrite a better ending for yourself, and courageously live out your unique calling by becoming UnBound.

Words from the Wise after Their Rewrite
I feel free and weightless. Working one-on-one with Mandi helped me to see that I was creating much of my own disharmony and despite my best efforts, I learned I was perpetuating a self-sabotaging cycle that I was completely unaware of. Bringing this to the surface and learning to call it out when it occurred helped me shift my mindset to where it needed to be. I not only felt another level of healing and self-acceptance but crafted a path forward that was more aligned with the calling I have always had in my heart. I have the blueprint to move forward and a network of resources for growth and expansion. This was also a unique and fun experience where I got to play with my creative side more than I have in years. As a mom, I was also able to apply some of the teachings to help my children articulate and reframe difficult experiences and even have them map out their own life stories. We got creative and even wrote different variations as a choose-your-own-adventure type of activity. This opened their eyes and mine to the options that we often leave out for ourselves just because we get comfortable. Thank you for this as I will use this for years to come.

Being a three-decade-plus leader of major companies had left me with much experience and advancements in my career, yet I was still feeling stuck in neutral going nowhere fast. Often I would not be able to escape feelings of inferiority and dissatisfaction at each stage of my career. I am getting close to retirement and wanted to pursue something more meaningful but felt lost. After working with Mandi I was able to detach from what still hurt and write what future I had always envisioned. This process completely took me out of my robotic comfort zone I had come to know. I realized what from my childhood still was driving my life and learned how to use it for my benefit. I was even able to apply these learnings immediately in my current role and my employees have commented on the drastic shift I have made. Mandi had a unique way of blending experiences and activities that were most effective for me and how I function, something I had not quite experienced before in a mentoring program.

Adam S.
LOVED every moment of this experience even though at times we went very deep. I was able to fully express what had been suppressed inside most of my life. I realized that what I have endured in my life was actually positioning me for my greatness. I had so much resentment for the trials and tribulations I endured but through this process was able to release much of these harboring feelings. Once that attachment was gone, I was able to see the higher purpose of it all AND learn to apply it to my mission and how it could positively help those in the field I work. I immediately felt a boost of confidence and strength as well as felt more grounded and in tune with what I wanted, not what I felt I had to do to be accepted, liked, or valued. My perfectionism and people-pleasing tendencies were always something that I couldn't stand about myself, but after working with Mandi I became very clear as to why I did this for so many years AND more importantly how I could overcome these and use the information they were trying to tell me productively to move me forward.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is it like to work with you?
I like to combine both right-brain and left-brain activities and experiences. I also believe heavily in both research-based strategies and practical lived experience applications. I use humor and kindness often and even though we deal with heavy topics, I am most often upbeat. I will see your strengths right away and try to spark their potential all while honoring the personal readiness pace, timeline, and unique learning style you have. Think of this as a partnership journey and I am only illuminating what is already inside and a pathway to help it rise.
What is expected of me as a client?
Nothing changes if nothing changes and I expect that you will be open to exploring new means to change. While timelines are flexible, I will keep a gentle continuum of accountability to help ensure you stay on your desired track. I expect you'll use your courage as we work together and you will communicate with me every step of the way so we can make any adjustments in a timely manner. But mostly, I expect you to get excited simply by being your FULLEST self as a practice of undoing former conditioning even if it feels weird at first.
Do you follow a standard process or is this more individualized to meet me where I am at?
I typically follow a three-phase transformational framework with each client, however, what we do during that time is highly customized to the unique being you are. As a former educator, I value individuality and I also realize just as no two traumas or people are the same, how could the process ever be?
What do you believe is the most efficient and effective way to learn?
I believe this is whatever is best for you. I offer variations on activities to meet your preferred learning style. I offer experiential and service learning opportunities as often as I can because from the research that is what has been shown to work the best— plus it is way more fun and engaging that way!
Can I continue therapy/etc. while working with you?
Absolutely! As I will be continuing mine. The work here can be a huge support to the work you are already doing and may even shed new light on old shadows in your life.
If you've made it down here, then it's a sign you're in the right place...
It's in these moments when we consider leaping into our next level of growth, that our mind starts to fill with resistance (know this is completely normal & our egos are desperately trying to keep us in our comfort zone!)
The truth is this decision to join isn't just about investing in a personalized mentoring program, it's deeper than that. It's about claiming your life back through self-leadership, amplifying your purpose with fervor, influence, and passion, and creating your ever-expanding ripple effect in the world— fully as you are— UnBound and unlimited by anything. — Mandi
