MOUTAIN TOT choices, options and more ....
Mountain TOT is not a course you climb from the bottom up.
It’s a cognitive infrastructure built for people who are already somewhere—already living, already surviving, already solving—and ready to grow beyond what no longer works.
Here’s the disruption:
You don’t start at the base. You’re already at the summit.
From this vantage point, you can see what worked, what didn’t, and what never belonged to you in the first place—other people’s expectations, borrowed frameworks, inherited limits. Mountain TOT assumes you’ve lived. Your lived experience is not a prerequisite; it’s the curriculum.
This is learning that moves every which way.
Down the mountain to retrieve a tool.
Across the ridge to test a new option.
Back up the side with clarity you didn’t have before.
Forward—always—because growth doesn’t require going “back to square one.”
Going back (Sankofa) doesn’t mean going down.
And going down doesn’t mean you’re beneath anything.
It means you’re navigating terrain with intention.
Mountain TOT rejects the box. There is no linear ladder. No “basic” that erases what you already know. Starting from fundamentals here means starting from function—how your mind works, how your story moves, how your neurodivergent superpowers create patterns, bridges, and options others miss.
This is an open conversation—cross-industry, personal development, real life.
A space where cognition is infrastructure, not content.
Where disruption is not rebellion, it’s orientation.
Where learning is anchored in lived experience, not compliance.
You are not climbing toward worth.
You are not trying to arrive.
You are the mountain.
You are at your own summit.

Podcast Series Description (Episodes 1–5)
This five-part series dives into the historic and ongoing struggle between white therapists/coaches and Black African American clients. For generations, Black realities have been overlooked, minimized, or misunderstood in therapeutic and coaching spaces. We unpack why this disconnect exists, how whiteness and anti-Blackness shape the dynamics, and the burden it places on Black clients to carry the weight of translation.
Through candid conversations, lived experiences, and coaching insights, these episodes hold space for two tracks:
- Coaching the Coaches — equipping therapists and coaches to better serve Black African American clients by naming what has been historically unseen.
- Centering Black Women’s Experiences — honoring the voices, realities, and wisdom of Black African American women as more than case studies, but as the heart of the conversation.
This is not just critique — it’s a search for options and solutions. Episode by episode, we explore distinctions, strategies, and pathways to bridge the gap between service and true understanding.
