Are You Leading from Survival or Soul?
This quick quiz reveals the hidden lens shaping your life—and what’s possible when you shift it.

It’s because you’re operating from a lens that was built to protect you… not express you.

You’ve done everything right—and it still doesn’t feel aligned.
You followed the steps.
Earned the degrees.
Built the life you thought you were supposed to want.
But something still feels off.
Like your outer world is running on a script you didn’t write.
Like you're playing a role that doesn’t reflect who you are anymore.
That’s not failure.
That’s your truth trying to emerge.
Disrupting Gracefully helps you stop shaping your life around expectations—and start building from the part of you that’s always known the way.
This isn’t about escaping your life.
It’s about creating one that finally fits.
Let’s do that together.
The Space We Create From Changes Everything
I’ve spent decades inside systems—working to create change from within.
In criminal justice.
In higher education.
In rooms where policy and curriculum shape lives.
And what I’ve seen is this:
Even with good intentions, when we create from disconnection, we replicate disconnection.
When we create from fear, control, or survival, we build systems that feel heavy—even when they’re designed to help.
Disrupting Gracefully isn’t about fighting what exists.
It’s about becoming conscious of the space we’re creating from—and choosing to build from unity instead of division.
As Buckminster Fuller said:
“You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.”
This work begins within.
With your internal clarity.
With how you move, lead, and respond.
And from there, we build something new—together. When you change the space you’re creating from, your entire reality recalibrates
And that’s the heart of my work—helping people shift their creative lens from protection to expression.
Hi, I’m Barbara!
This work is personal for me...
I’ve spent my career inside the systems that shape people’s lives—criminal justice, higher education, policy.
At the same time, I’ve walked a parallel path—studying consciousness, energy, and the deeper truths that often get buried beneath roles and expectations.
I created Disrupting Gracefully to bridge those two worlds.
Through 1:1 sessions, programs, immersive workshops, and speaking engagements, I help people reconnect with the clarity of their inner truth—and build lives and systems that reflect it.
I shared part of my story/experiences at TEDx, in a talk called “Labels to Lives”—where I explored what it means to move beyond the identities we’ve been given—and create from a deeper place of unity.
Because when we shift how we see ourselves, we shift what becomes possible.
Want to Connect?
I don’t offer free discovery calls - my schedule’s fluid, and I prefer honest conversation over scripts.
But if you’re exploring this work and wondering if it’s the right fit for you, or if you just have something to share, I’d love to hear from you.
Reach out and let’s start a real conversation.
Pattern Disruption: A Live Experiential Workshop
Date: Sunday, September 28, 2025
Time: 1:00 – 3:00 PM
Aligned Wellness and Events
114 N 7th St, Cañon City, CO 81212
Most people don’t realize how much one pattern can shape everything — how
they react, how they hold themselves back, and what they believe is possible. In
this 2-hour workshop you will learn to:
• See one repeating pattern in your life for what it really is.
• Disrupt it through guided movement, reflection, and direct experience.
• Learn simple tools to help you respond differently when it shows up again.
• Walk away with clarity, relief, and momentum.
This is for people who know something needs to shift — and are ready to do it.
