Individual Recovery. Collective Change.
Restoring capacity so you can build what comes next.
The Moment We’re In
We are living through institutional instability and moral reckoning. Long-standing systems are unraveling. Extraction, polarization, and short-term thinking are shaping how we live and lead.
Many leaders and innovators who feel this most deeply and want to drive change are operating in survival mode. And for good reason. Chronic uncertainty and competing pressures narrow our thinking. Even values-driven people can default to urgency over intention.
Before we can build differently, we have to regain capacity.
The Recovering Human helps you step out of survival mode so you can respond — not react — to the moment we’re in and build what comes next with intention.
The Work
I’m Rebecca Grey. I partner with leaders, founders, and culture shapers navigating instability—people who care deeply about building differently but feel stretched thin and disillusioned by the systems they’re inside.
My background spans executive leadership in culture and social impact, systems-level strategy, and personal recovery. I’ve worked inside large institutions where incentives distort behavior, and I’ve done the internal work required to lead without losing myself in the process.
Our work moves in two phases.
First, we restore capacity — stepping out of survival mode and rebuilding clarity and internal margin.
Then we move to strategy — clarifying values, examining power structures, mapping influence, and designing grounded, ethical action.
This is disciplined, real-world application.
Because individual recovery strengthens collective change.
