For Families

No, the Breakthrough Collective supports growth and even collective healing, but our services include coaching, workshops, courses, consultation, and storytelling. If you would like to work with Dr. Layton for individual therapy or assessment, please visit Mockingbird Therapy & Assessment.

This space is for creatives, changemakers, impact-led business and practice owners, career-changers, and intentional leaders who crave authentic connection, collective healing, and a break from burnout culture.

If you value growth, justice, and belonging, you’ll feel seen and supported here. Together, we are all working on finding work-life harmony, creative and playful living, rest and joy, and a deeply rooted community.

We welcome the "granny millenials" looking for softer living, the feminist leaders and business owners creating life beyond the confines of the patriarchy, working parents who want both loving relationships and purposeful work, and people who know they need to make some sort of change in how they are working and living. We welcome the heart-led visionaries, rebel creatives, and the delightful misfits willing to question the script we've been handed. This is a neurodiverse, values-aligned, and growth-focused space.

First, through genuine connection and support tailored to your goals, we can help you discover old patterns (and maybe even old wounds) showing up in your work. As a feminist psychologist and aligned business owner, it was important to me to design this program to be an innovative application of psychology and neuroscience on a number of levels, including the intentional approach to exploration and learning in community, the experiences and practices you are invited to enjoy, and the lessons and coaching. There are multiple ways to grow and connect, and you can really make this experience your own with live offerings and recordings and guided exercises you can complete at your own pace.  

We also draw from storytelling, collective wisdom, and mutual inspiration in our community. You will be able to learn from guest "cultivators" and access a growing library of fellow impact entrepreneurs, creatives, and heart-led people who are sharing how they are redefining success and finding ways to live authentically and fully. The insights, tools, strategies, and intentionality of this program rooted in psychology make it so impactful. But the real magic is what we all create and do together as a community.

Through weekly live group calls, monthly workshops, recorded lessons, intentional community activities, and a vibrant forum, we nurture your rest and creativity and help you discover practices designed to help you recover, reconnect, and grow at your own pace. We can explore your learned patterns (e.g., perfectionism, burnout, self-doubt, over-committing), understand why you developed these, collaborate on what makes it challenging to break the cycle, and offer you support in actually doing something different that better fits your values and goals.

We have a virtual "community garden" space where you can share in storytelling and insights, ask questions in the forum, and connect with others.

You can also dive into recorded lessons, exercises, and assessments exploring topics including:
✨guided trainings, exercises, and visualizations to help you explore more about yourself, your story, your values, and what you truly want in your life and work
✨your work values and preferences, your cadence or preferred rhythms, and your communication and leadership style
✨ how to apply strategies and practices rooted in psychology towards increasing divergent thinking, innovation, and creativity
✨understanding the how and why of reclaiming joy, whimsy, and playfuless in our lives again - yes, even as adults
✨the insights and stories of fellow entrepreneurs, creatives, and people redefining work, art, innovation, impact, and living


group calls, workshops, experiential sessions, and community practices we will support you in clarifying your values and purpose, go into deep dives on topics like overcoming imposter syndrome, and engage in practices together that help us all reclaim playfulness, art, rest, and vulnerability.

We can also apply psychology and community wisdom towards more fostering divergent thinking, innovative problem solving, and creativity. I love helping folks with this one-on-one and have developed lessons, exercises, and experiences to help you foster this in a way that is sustainable and rooted in psychology and neuroscience. If you want to learn more about the neurodiversity among us all and strategies for your specific brain, style, and needs. We offer tools and experiences to help you better understand your own learned patterns, and try new strategies for improving your wellbeing, finding a more sustainable approach to work-life, and discovering how to create the success as you define it. This is especially helpful for high achievers, deep feelers, neurodivergent folks, and/or those of us who have had to learn to mask and code-switch over time.  

I created this experience to help you break free from old patterns that are no longer serving you, and practice a different, more sustainable, and more aligned form of business (or practice).

It's important to consider the lens and intention behind any program or experience we join. And in this case, I am a feminist psychologist by training, a fellow impact-led entrepreneur by choice, and a humanist to my core. I applied psychology and neuroscience when designing this experience, so that it will foster community, creativity, playfulness, work-life harmony, and some loving rebellion in those who join us. We help you deconstruct messages you've internalized over time, discover new ways of seeing and living, and reclaim that sense of togetherness that so many of us miss and crave in late-stage capitalism.

This is designed to offer you connection, learning, and intentional support. You will make new connections (socially and in your brain). It's a big ask, but as I've seen day after day, when we get the support we've needed for so long, root ourselves in lasting community, and work with (rather than against) our own minds, we can make deeply personal and impactful changes in our lives and work.  

In the community you can find solidarity and understanding, put these feelings and experiences into words, and feel genuinely heard and supported. We have a virtual "community garden" space where you can share in storytelling and insights, ask questions in the forum, and connect with others. You can dive into recorded lessons, exercises, and assessments to help you explore more about yourself, your values, your working and communication styles, and what you want in your life and work. There are also lessons about fostering greater creativity and joy and recorded conversations with other impact entrepreneurs, creatives, and people redefining work to inspire you in your own journey.

In group calls, workshops, experiential sessions, and community practices we will support you in clarifying your values and purpose, go into deep dives on topics like overcoming imposter syndrome, and engage in practices together that help us all reclaim playfulness, art, rest, and vulnerability.
