"Helping everyday people build work and lives they don’t have to recover from; by designing for real capacity, not constant endurance."
This is not "emotional intelligence," "resilience," or "burnout training."
High-performing environments often rely on unseen emotional effort to stay functional.
Claire Cut Consulting helps individuals make that cost visible early, so sustainability can be addressed before capacity breaks down.
Reserve & Release
Reserve & Release reframes emotion as capital—not character—giving structurally exhausted, high-functioning adults a systems-level framework to evaluate emotional cost, sustainability, and return.
The promise is not:
“You’ll feel better.”
The promise is:
“You’ll stop carrying hidden emotional costs and start making clearer choices about what your capacity can sustain.”
Everything offered here—speaking and teaching—builds from that foundation.
Work With Me
This work focuses on how emotional demand moves through roles and decisions, shaping performance and sustainability long before burnout appears.
Speaking
That Sparks
Orientation and shared language
Speaking engagements introduce the core ideas and help people name experiences they often carry without language. They are designed to create clarity and recognition.
Why Me?
Less than 2% of women make it to director level or above within the Fortune 10.
I am 1 of the 2.
I am a writer and educator whose work sits at the intersection of mental health, organizational systems, and real-world responsibility.
Across corporate, nonprofit, and advisory environments, I've observed the same pattern: emotional labor is essential to how systems function — but rarely acknowledged or accounted for.
This work emerged to name that gap.
