A Membership CommunityThe Recovering Human
where we recover our humanity from the world of work
A weekly room, community, and resources for working women who are disillusioned with corporate America and are tired of being told they’re the problem.
You Belong Here If…
You believed in the American Dream and followed the roadmap, but don't feel the fulfillment or see the rewards you were promised.
—
You spend nights and weekends playing catch-up, ruminating on workplace politics, and coping with the stress of it all.
—
You've read the self-help books and used your company's wellness benefits, but you still feel burnt out.
—
You want to make a difference on social and political issues, but have nothing left to give outside of work.
—
You see your co-workers struggling and feel complicit in something you can't name.
—
You feel disconnected from yourself and from other people.

None of it is a personal failing. It’s what the last few decades were built to produce.
You have been handed tools for a problem that isn't yours alone to fix. This is the room where we stop pretending it is.
WHAT this IS
One hour a week with the same small group of women, where you say what is actually happening and nobody tries to fix you. There is healing in being heard, and there is relief in finding out you were never the only one.
Starting Oct. 7, we’ll get together every Wednesday at 8 pm Eastern on Zoom. Each week has its own focus, and we meet four times a month.
In the first week, the focus is on learning. We’ll talk openly about what’s happening at work and look at the history behind it. These are honest conversations, not corporate-approved talking points.
The second week is for open sharing. It’s a space where everyone can be heard, which is healing on its own.
In Week 3, the focus is on practical tools to help you feel grounded and to support systemic change.
Week 4 is another open sharing session.
You’ll get a newsletter twice a month. One edition explains what’s happening to us and how we got here. The other shares a tool you can use. Each newsletter connects to a meeting.
There’s also a private group chat, so you can stay connected with others between meetings.
THE COMMUNITY
Anonymous. First names inside the group, and nowhere outside it.
Confidential. What is said in meetings and the group chat stays there.
Never a colleague. No two people from the same company are in the same group.
No cross-talk, just support. Community is not for fixing, but for witnessing and supporting. Advice only comes if you ask for it.
Shared values. Honesty. Willingness to challenge the status quo. Courage to take action. Anti-racist and feminist.
the recovering human is Different
Your company may offer something similar. But a coworker is in the room, or an executive, so the conversation stays careful. You can’t say that what’s happening in the country is landing on your Monday. You can’t say that a divorce, a sick parent, or money trouble is affecting your work without risking being quietly managed around.
Other networks host these conversations with a corporate partner in the background shaping what gets said. This has none of that. You can say "fuck corporate America" out loud and there will be no repercussions.
And it comes with you from job to job. It’s the one room about your working life that your employer does not own.
bridging the individual and systemic
A lot of workplace challenges are blamed on the individual, framed as something to overcome on your own. Here we talk about the cause: the system.
Seeing it clearly changes what you do with it. You stop absorbing it as evidence about yourself, and you start noticing where you actually have room to move: what you say in a meeting, what you refuse, what you organize, what you tell the person next to you. Small things, but they are yours.
And you cannot change a system on your own. That is why this is a community and not a course.
Hi, I’m Rebecca Grey.
I'm a coach, community builder, and writer.
I spent two decades inside corporate America, most of it leading work on culture, social impact, and community. This gave me a raw perspective on what people are dealing with in their working lives, and the gaps within our systems.
At the same time, I’ve spent years building community and hosting safe-space conversations. I know that these often provide the best opportunities for healing and connection. But when corporate interests are present in a room, they often keep discussions surface-level, politically neutral, and focused on individual issues rather than systemic change. This has none of that.
I believe change is possible with honesty, willingness, and courage—supported by community.
I built this because it's what I needed, and I know others may be looking for it too.
