Success does not equal Emotional Maturity

Your most capable, intelligent, and successful people may still be carrying:

Burnout and chronic stress
Emotional overwhelm
Fear of conflict or speaking up
Disengagement or quiet quitting
Emotional dysregulation
Limiting beliefs from past experience

“No one leaves their history at the door. People come to work in survival mode - whether they're aware of it or not.”

Why Emotional Healing Drives Emotional Maturity and Performance

When emotional pain, chronic stress, and survival patterns go unaddressed, people may still perform - but they lack the self-awareness, regulation, and relational capacity required for sustainable leadership and collaboration. Emotional healing is what allows awareness to deepen, nervous systems to regulate, and emotional maturity to emerge.

Why I See What Leaders Don't

Open Letter

Why we built SHiFT

Dr. Isabell Springer

SHiFT Founder | CEO | Therapist

Dr. Isabell
Springer

Isabell built SHiFT after years of working as a trauma therapist with employees inside organizations and with national sports and Olympic athletes.

She's seen that performance struggles are rarely about effort or skill, but about unhealed emotional pain and nervous-system stress.

She believes emotional maturity is the byproduct of healing and self-awareness - and that when people heal, they show up empowered, accountable, and fully invested.

Joella Walker

Head of Production | Therapist

Joella
Walker

Joella believes people are not broken - they are responding to systems that were never designed to support emotional safety or growth.

Her work is grounded in the understanding that emotional maturity doesn't come from information alone, but from environments that support regulation, reflection, and connection.

When people feel safe and supported, she believes they naturally grow into healthier, more mature ways of being.

Alyssa Negron

Senior Producer | Therapist

Alyssa
Negron

Alyssa believes transformation happens when people are given the space to heal and the opportunity to practice new ways of relating.

With a clinical foundation and deep trust in the human capacity for growth, she sees emotional maturity emerge when people feel seen, supported, and challenged with compassion.

Empowered, emotionally mature people don't need to be managed into alignment - they choose it.

FAQ

The SHiFT Business Pilot is a year-long, no-cost partnership for forward-thinking companies that want to support employee wellbeing in a more modern, human way. Your workforce receives free access to therapist-led emotional wellness education, private community support, interactive sessions, and experiential tools that improve resilience, engagement, and retention across the business.

Because emotional strain - not workload alone - is the leading cause of burnout, turnover, and disengagement. SHiFT fills the gap between meditation apps and therapy - offering the emotional skills, community, and human connection employees need to thrive. Research consistently shows that people stay longer and perform better when they feel supported, connected, and psychologically safe. SHiFT helps employees navigate stress, self-doubt, loneliness, and emotional dysregulation through a blend of education and community - giving them the emotional stability needed to thrive at work and in life.

SHiFT is the first platform to combine therapist-led MasterSessions, lived-experience teaching, and a verified, safe community where employees learn in connection with others. Unlike meditation apps or therapy platforms, SHiFT focuses on emotional wellness education - insight + practice + community - giving employees tools they can use every day while creating belonging and psychological safety across your business. It's not therapy; it's a guided, self-paced journey where real people learn, grow, and transform together.

Employees stay when they feel emotionally supported and connected. Community research shows that belonging is one of the strongest predictors of retention and engagement. SHiFT offers the emotional glue companies struggle to create: connection, shared language, psychological safety, and accountability. When employees have the emotional tools to navigate stress, relationships, conflicts, and self-doubt, they show up more fully and stay longer.

Each employee receives a secure, private login that unlocks full access to the SHiFT experience. They can move through therapist-led MasterSessions at their own pace, attend weekly live MiniSessions for real-time support, join bi-weekly Men's and Women's Groups, or reflect quietly using guided workbooks and tools. Members can engage privately or participate in community learning circles. SHiFT is accessible anytime, anywhere - via web, iOS, or Android.

Very. SHiFT is built for diverse personalities and comfort levels. Some employees prefer a quiet, self-guided experience; others thrive in live workshops or community groups. SHiFT adapts to both. The platform supports private learning, community connection, and everything in between - meeting each employee exactly where they are.

Community is what makes SHiFT truly transformational. Research shows that people learn best in connection - and employees feel safer, more motivated, and more open to growth when they're not doing it alone. SHiFT offers: daily questions, weekly live workshops, monthly growth challenges and therapist-led Men Only and Women Only groups. These experiences normalize emotional conversations and strengthen psychological safety across teams.

Absolutely. SHiFT is built around safety. Every employee is photo-verified, profiles are authenticated, and anonymous accounts are not permitted. Our trauma-informed moderation team protects the integrity of the space, ensuring no bots, trolls, or harmful interactions. Employees feel safe, seen, and respected - which is essential for emotional growth.

As a 2026 Pilot Partner, your employees receive a full year of free access to SHiFT's entire emotional wellness ecosystem. Your business receives co-branded integration, founder-led onboarding, a done-for-you launch toolkit, and a SHiFT Business Wellness Partner badge to showcase your commitment to whole-person wellbeing. Because you are part of our founding cohort, your insights help shape SHiFT's development - and you'll receive exclusive founder pricing for 2027 if you choose to continue.

Not at all. SHiFT enhances every level of your existing support system. Managers and HR leaders gain a shared language for emotional wellness; employees gain tools that improve communication, resilience, and self-awareness; and your EAP or therapy benefits become more effective because employees better understand their emotional needs. SHiFT strengthens your people - it doesn't replace your programs or practitioners.

No. SHiFT is non-clinical psychoeducation. While therapist-led, the content is designed for insight, growth, and emotional skill-building - not diagnosis or clinical treatment. Many members actually seek therapy after joining SHiFT because they gain clarity, language, and awareness. SHiFT complements therapy beautifully but is not a substitute.

Very little. SHiFT manages the technology, employee access, onboarding, education flow, and community moderation. Your team simply shares the launch materials we provide and invites employees to participate. It can be as simple as an announcement, a poster in the break room, or a couple of emails with login instructions. It's a high-impact, low-lift addition to your employee wellbeing strategy.

Before the pilot concludes, we'll share engagement insights so you can see how your employees benefited. If you choose to continue, you'll unlock early adopter founder pricing. If not, your employees will be offered a founder discount so they can continue their personal SHiFT journey independently.

First, thank you for recognizing that emotional wellness is foundational to how people feel, work, and connect. Exploring SHiFT means you care deeply about your people - and that makes you exactly the kind of business we built this for.
