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.
Register by Friday, Oct. 2 to be part of the founding group, kicking off Wednesday, Oct. 7.
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 leaned in. Then you saw who it actually worked for.
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.
WHAT this IS
A group of women working in corporate America who join together to:
Share honestly about what they’re going through
Support each other
Find ways to feel grounded and move beyond just surviving
Build the knowledge and capacity to change the system
A standing group, not a drop-in. Never more than twenty, and you come to know the room. We’ll cover everything from what's underneath burnout to the decisions that killed the American Dream. It comes to life through weekly meetings, a group chat, a newsletter, and tools you can use.
THE COMMUNITY
Anonymous. First names inside the group, and nowhere outside it.
Confidential. What is said in meetings and the group chat stays there.
Shared values. Honesty. Willingness to challenge the status quo. Courage to take action. Anti-racist and feminist.
Never a colleague. No two people from the same company are in the same group.
No cross-talk during open share meetings, just support. Community is not for fixing, but for witnessing and supporting. Advice only comes if you ask for it.
No recruiting or selling. You are not a prospect here.

Starting Oct. 7, we’ll get together every Wednesday at 8 pm Eastern on Zoom.
Here’s what meetings each month will look like:
Week 1: Learning focus, with open conversation about workplace issues and the history behind them.
Week 2: Open sharing. The whole hour is for being heard.
Week 3: Practical tools for grounding yourself and for changing the system.
Week 4: Open sharing.
Each meeting will be one hour + a 30 minute parking lot for those who want to stay after and chat more.
There is no end date. The room meets every week, and you stay as long as it is useful to you.
Register by Friday, Oct. 2 to join the founding group. Spots are limited.
Accessibility is a priority. Email me to discuss a sliding scale option if the full price is not feasible. No minimum required.
the recovering human is Different
Your company may offer community groups and safe-space conversations. But a coworker you don’t trust or your boss is in the room, 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.
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.
