Writer, Speaker, Researcher | Private Companioning For Profound Transitions

Exploring the ecology of how we change. 

Maya Frost, founder of Collapse Forward, in an Amsterdam park in spring 2026.

I work with those who have realized that the systems they depended on are no longer enough. They are asking, "How do I live well now?"

For the last six years, I have helped hundreds oleaders, organizers, and creatives in 20 countries who have been impacted by systemic failures.

It has given me a front-row seat to observe how people respond to destabilizing change.

Pandemic disruptions. War and displacement.

Climate-related devastation. Program de-funding.

Targeted political moves that cause harm.  

Crushing debt due to unemployment and college costs.

Insurmountable medical bills.

Polarization and social isolation.

I developed a 30-day process specifically designed for those experiencing the disengagement, disllusionment, and distrust that so many are feeling now.

The Private Companioning process is tested, effective, and transformative.

In just a few short weeks, you can turn your despair about what´s ending into clarity, creative energy, and a renewed capacity for what´s emerging.

This unique process is remote, asynchonous, and based on daily, ongoing conversations. 

RESEARCH AND EXPLORATION

Anthropology and ecology. Environmental and ecological psychology.

Behavioral science and biology. Mindfulness practices and contemplative science.

These fields provide key learnings that can be laced together to expand our capacity for grounded and joyful adaptation.  

My eclectic NOW page has links to some of the research papers as well as the novels, art, and other media that are inspiring me lately.  

I regularly share my discoveries and reflections in presentations, podcasts, and publications.
