Phoenix Collective
Real talk. Practical tools. Honest community. These eight live sessions are built for people who are tired of “powering through” and ready to build stability that holds on hard days.
Think: less performance, more progress. Less “fix me,” more “show me the next right step.” You’ll leave with tools you can actually use—at work, at home, and in the middle of a trigger.
Each event is free and open to the public. Register for the full series, or pick the nights that match what you’re dealing with right now.

If you’re tired of performing “fine,” this is where you stop pretending and start rebuilding. We’ll help you define a baseline you can keep on hard days—not just perfect ones. You’ll map what’s driving your current “normal” (sleep, stress, triggers, bandwidth) and walk out with a repeatable plan that doesn’t collapse the moment life gets loud.
Most blowups don’t start in your mouth—they start in your body, hours earlier. You’ll learn how to spot your early warning signs and interrupt the sequence before it runs you. We’ll build a practical pause-point for real-time moments, plus a simple after-action method that turns a rough day into usable data instead of shame.
If nights feel like a second shift, you’re not alone—and you’re not broken. We’ll break down why your brain stays on alert after the day is over, and what to do about it without turning bedtime into a fight. You’ll leave with a simple night reset protocol and a plan for the “wired but exhausted” cycle (including what to do when nightmares show up).
Holding it together all day and then leaking it at home is common—and expensive. In this session, we’ll show you how to offload pressure before it detonates, and how to repair fast when things go sideways. You’ll learn a short decompression routine (minutes, not hours) plus boundary language that doesn’t start a fight.
This is the reset that doesn’t require perfect conditions. We’ll help you rebuild momentum with a structure you can keep even when life is busy and motivation is low. You’ll define your minimum standard, your daily reset, and your “next right step” plan for the next 30 days—without the all-or-nothing crash.
Motivation is unreliable—systems win. You’ll learn how to build a minimum standard that keeps you moving when you don’t feel like it, and how to recover fast when you slip. We’ll show you how to remove friction, reduce decision fatigue, and build consistency without hype—especially when you’re tired, triggered, or flat.
If your mind turns loud at the worst times—driving, late night, early morning—this is for you. We’ll break down why rumination feels productive, how it hijacks your focus, and how to shut down the loop without denial or avoidance. Leave with a simple method to interrupt spirals, regain clarity, and make decisions without mental chaos.
The holidays don’t just bring schedules—they bring old roles, old patterns, and the same pressure points. You’ll learn boundaries that don’t require a speech, plus quick tools for baiting, passive aggression, and emotional landmines. We’ll build a pre-game and post-game routine so you don’t pay for one gathering with three days of fallout.
If you’re serious about building stability over time, register once and be done. You’ll get reminders before each event so you can show up without scrambling.

Founder • Trauma Coach • Author
Dr. King has been where you are. At 45, traumatic memories from childhood abuse and trafficking hit like a freight train. He lost his marriage, his home, and his sense of who he was—then rebuilt his life by combining neuroscience, practical tools, and honest community. Healing isn’t about going back to who you were—it’s about becoming who you’re meant to be.

No. This is education and coaching support. We don’t diagnose or treat. If you’re under medical or psychiatric care, keep working with your licensed providers.
Each night is designed to be practical, even if the theme isn’t your “main” issue. The tools cross over—sleep affects triggers; triggers affect relationships; rumination affects discipline, etc.
Either way, the goal is the same: less chaos, more control—without pretending your past didn’t happen.
