Teela Hudak is a burnout recovery strategist, writer, and educator who helps professionals restore clarity, energy, and focus. She works with leaders, healthcare providers, educators, and creatives to address burnout at its roots and build sustainable habits for long-term resilience. With 15 years of experience in social services as a detox worker, outreach staff, drop-in centre manager, and case worker, Teela understands the emotional demands and constant output that can drain even the most committed professionals. Her own turning point came after years of giving time, energy, and emotional presence without replenishing her own reserves. She recognized that she had begun to measure her worth by how much she could produce or give to others. That realization led her to design a burnout recovery and prevention framework that goes beyond cookie-cutter self-care advice. Drawing on evidence-informed practices such as values alignment, boundary setting, and nervous system regulation, along with additional techniques she shares with her clients, Teela guides people in creating tools that are practical, adaptable, and truly personal. Her approach rejects one-size-fits-all systems. Instead, each client develops a customized plan they can use at any stage of burnout or as a proactive strategy for stress management and energy maintenance. This plan becomes a reliable resource for navigating high-pressure seasons while staying grounded and connected to personal well-being. Teela shares her work through published articles, free masterclasses, and a paid workshop that helps participants design their own burnout recovery plan. She is committed to making burnout prevention and resilience training accessible, practical, and sustainable so people can reconnect with their energy, purpose, and presence in both work and life.

Eva M. Gordon, LCSW, is the founder and director of Life Guide LCSW, P.C., a mental health practice providing psychotherapy and community mental health education in the New York City area. Her focus is on providing mental health treatment to the Black community as a source of healing and hope. She mainly focuses on Black professional women ages 30 and up who struggle with unhealthy relationships. The goal is to help these women recognize that self-care is their birthright and not a privilege. Ms. Gordon employs several strategies, including exploring behavioral patterns, emotional management, and understanding how multiple factors contribute to a person’s mental health throughout their lifespan.   Eva, a native of Brooklyn, NY, completed her Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from the University of Pittsburgh in 2000. Her professional experience began with data collection in youth drug and violence prevention research at Weill-Cornell Medical College of Cornell University. She continued her career as a case manager at Seamen’s Society for Children and Families in Brooklyn, which focused on general preventive services in the child welfare system. Eva then became a Substance Abuse Prevention counselor at the John Adams High School SPARK program and then completed her Master of Science in Social Work at Columbia University School of Social Work in 2007. After graduating from Columbia, Eva moved into program management at Harlem Congregations for Community Improvement. She soon became the Program Manager for the East New York Community Partnership Program for eight years.   After 10 years of program management and development, Eva provided psychotherapy at the Center for Psychotherapy in Brooklyn, NY, for 7 years. She provided mental health treatment for children, teens, and adults at the center. She also co-facilitated the parent support group at the center.   Eva is passionate about working with families and incorporating writing assignments into her clinical work with clients to show them the importance of expressive writing. This is especially important for the Black community.

Eva enjoys creative writing and is completing a novel for teens and young adults. Eva M.

Hussain’s journey with OCD began in his early years, and he has been open about his struggles with intrusive thoughts, compulsions, and the impact OCD had on his daily life. Over time, he developed effective strategies for managing his symptoms and healing, and now, he dedicates his life to helping others do the same. He has been featured on some of the most influential mental health platforms, including the International OCD Foundation (IOCDF), Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA), and NOCD. These experiences have allowed him to reach a broader audience, helping to break the silence around OCD and share his message of hope and resilience. In addition to his personal journey, Hussain holds a degree in electrical engineering. His professional background in engineering has equipped him with problem-solving skills that he now applies to his work in mental health advocacy, particularly in creating innovative resources that offer practical solutions for OCD management. Hussain’s work goes beyond just raising awareness; it’s about providing actionable insights and creating tools that people can use in their day-to-day lives. As a writer, speaker, and educator, Hussain's mission is clear: to make sure no one has to face OCD alone. He is committed to educating, supporting, and providing tools for those affected by OCD, helping them regain control over their lives. Through his personal experience and professional expertise, Hussain is making a profound impact in the mental health community, empowering individuals to thrive despite their challenges with OCD.

Lisa Tibando’s journey into the healing arts began with a deep passion for understanding the human body, mind, and spirit—sparked by her own path of recovery from personal wounds and trauma. What started as a quest for self-healing evolved into a life’s mission: to be of service to others and contribute to humanity’s collective well-being. In 2013, Lisa graduated with honors from Toronto’s Massage Therapy program and became a licensed Registered Massage Therapist (RMT). This education gave her a strong foundation in anatomy and physiology, which she has since seamlessly integrated with her intuitive gifts to create a unique, holistic approach to wellness. Guided by the belief that true healing encompasses more than just physical symptoms, Lisa’s practice embraces the interconnectedness of the physical, emotional, mental, and energetic bodies. Her personalized sessions often incorporate breathwork, embodiment practices, and bioenergetics to release energetic blockages and promote deep healing on all levels. By helping clients reconnect their consciousness with their bodies, she supports them in raising their awareness and vibrational frequency—leading to lasting transformation. As both an RMT and a certified Energy Codes® Facilitator through The Morter Institute for Bioenergetics, Lisa draws upon extensive training to tune into her clients’ nervous systems, identify areas of tension, and gently facilitate the release of stored pain and energy. Her sessions are designed to restore balance, bring the body-mind complex back into homeostasis, and support overall well-being. Lisa’s dedication to her craft extends beyond one-on-one work. As an active member of multiple wellness associations, she prioritizes ongoing education to stay at the leading edge of holistic health, ensuring her clients receive the most effective and current healing modalities available. Empathetic and intuitive by nature, Lisa takes a deeply personalized approach to every client relationship. She honors each individual’s pace and needs, offering a supportive space whether they’re seeking relief from chronic pain, navigating emotional challenges, or embarking on a spiritual journey. Her clients consistently experience not only physical relief but also a profound reconnection to self. With over a decade of experience, Lisa has empowered countless clients to reclaim their health, vitality, and joy.
