"I could have kept it a secret. I could have let my fear and anxiety dictate my behaviors. But instead, I want to leave some of the baggage at the door and complete this experience through my nervous system." –Lindsey

Are you prepared for the moment hate calls?

In this powerful bonus episode of Gather at the Well, Lindsey opens up about a deeply personal and unsettling experience — receiving a violent, harassing phone call. Lindsey walks us through her process of emotional regulation, and the practical steps she took to protect herself and her team.

Having a plan — and a strong support system — is essential. This episode introduces the "Continuous Replenishment Cycle," a practical framework for navigating crises with self-care, emotional grounding, and community support at its core. Lindsey also shares the three components of a crisis and safety plan - prevention, intervention, and postvention - and shares specific policies and practices her organization has implemented.

Begin designing your safety plan. Keep yourself and your people safe. Fortify your organization, so you’re ready to take action and respond instead of react. We’re your partners and we have your back. ❤️
