Joyous Justice Weekly

Leadership should not cost you yourself.

Practical and spiritual support for accomplished leaders who are tired of pressure, overthinking, and over-responsibility running the show.

You can be brilliant, committed, and highly effective and still feel the cost of carrying too much and overriding yourself just to keep things moving.

Our regular emails offer practical insight, spiritual grounding, and liberatory perspective for people who want to lead, heal, and make change with more clarity, joy, and grounded power.

Around here, we explore things like:

  • making braver decisions without self-abandonment

  • reclaiming your and your team’s clarity, energy, and choice under pressure

  • fostering inspired resilience through healing, purposeful aspiration, and increasing self-trust

  • treating joy, pleasure and/or peace as essential, not extra

  • doing the kind of inner and outer work that improves how you meet and navigate hard things

For accomplished, kind-hearted leaders who want support that is thoughtful, grounded, and built for real life and the fullness of our humanity.

Strategy with soul.
Structure that sustains.

This is coaching and consulting for leaders who want a trusted, relational strategist fluent in both justice and organizational design. We blend strategy, coaching, and facilitation to move your organization from aspiration to consistent practice, without pushing past what your people can actually hold.

“Because of the work we did together with April over years, our organization was strong enough to withstand a moment that could have completely flattened us… people stayed. That stability didn’t happen by accident.”

— Abby Levine, Executive Director, JSJR

“The content was excellent — but what made the real difference was the hands-on coaching… time to think with April helped us navigate situations we truly could not have handled on our own.”

— Morriah Kaplan, Executive Director, IfNotNow

“The structure of the program came at exactly the right time… we knew we wanted to build a multiracial organization — but… it would fail if we didn’t get the internal foundation right first.”

— Davida Ginsberg, Nonprofit Executive & Activist
