Writer, Speaker, Researcher | Private Companioning For Profound Transitions

Exploring the ecology of how we change. 

Maya Frost, founder of Collapse Forward, in an Amsterdam park in spring 2026.

I work individually with those who have realized that the systems they depended on are no longer enough. They are asking, "How do I live well now?"

For the last six years, I have helped hundreds of clients in 20 countries who have been impacted by systemic failures.

It has given me a front-row seat to observe how people respond to destabilizing changes.

Pandemic disruptions. War and displacement.

Climate-related devastation. Program de-funding.

Targeted political moves that cause harm.  

Crushing debt due to unemployment and college costs.

Insurmountable medical bills.

Polarization and social isolation.

I developed a 30-day process specifically designed for those feeling the distrust, disillusionment, and disengagement that so many are experiencing now.

The Private Companioning process is tested, effective, and transformative.

In just a few short weeks, you can turn your despair about what´s ending into clarity, creative energy, and a renewed capacity for what´s emerging.

This unique process is remote, asynchonous, and based on daily, ongoing conversations. 

It is ideal for those who are ready to: 

  • cultivate attention instead of reacting or disengaging
  • align their choices with their values
  • build lives that fit the realities they now see

RESEARCH AND EXPLORATION

Anthropology and ecology. Environmental and ecological psychology.

Behavioral science and biology. Mindfulness practices and contemplative science.

These fields provide key learnings that can be laced together to expand our capacity for grounded, collaborative, and joyful adaptation.  

My eclectic NOW page has links to some of the research papers as well as the novels, art, and other media that are informing my latest work.  

I regularly share my discoveries and reflections in presentations, podcasts, and publications.

When the old ways of making sense of the world stop working, people don't just need better information.

They need a way of paying attention that make a different life possible.

That´s what I am addressing currently in my Substack newsletter, Cultivating Attention.

Each week, I share observations, discuss I´m learning, and offer real stories of change from those who are discovering how cultivating attention shifts everything.
