The Framework

Our body shows us when we’ve been stretched beyond our limits and knocked out of balance. But what can we do about it and how can we recognize those first signs? Beyond Resilience to Rootsilience shows us how.

We coined the word in order to create new consciousness - affect real, transformational change required a new language. Resilience is not enough to deal with the stressors and challenges of today.

Our new word, Rootsilience, takes the notion of “resilience” a step deeper, and teaches us to be grounded, rooted and able to respond to stressors from a place of security rather than being stretched beyond our limits.

Rootsilience (“root - zeel - ience”). Try saying it a few times :)

The Motivation behind the Rootsilience Framework and Book

Resilience is not enough to deal with the stressors and challenges of today. Our new word, Rootsilience, takes the notion of “resilience” a step deeper, and teaches us to be grounded, rooted and able to respond to stressors from a place of stability rather than being stretched beyond our limits.

• Businesses with women in senior leadership are more profitable, provide higher quantity customer
experiences and face fewer fraud and misconduct fines.

• Yet only 8% of women are in the top leadership position in the US and only 5% of women hold executive leadership positions in twenty of the world's largest economies.

• Women are more vulnerable to anxiety, depression, pain, and insomnia than men. Women are more severely affected than men from alcohol abuse and heart disease.

• Women are more likely than men to be diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, thyroid disease, depression and anxiety disorders.

• The Rootsilience Framework empowers women leaders to reclaim balance and well-being by decoding the language of our body, behavior and mind.

Our story so far...

With a shared love of nature, a belief in the strength of conscious leadership, and a commitment to a life of sustainability, health and wellness, Rimi and Samantha have come together in search of their authentic selves, connected by the love for the earth that they respect and revere.

Together, and in the words of Sharon Blackie, "we rise up, rooted like trees... (to) save not only ourselves, but the world." It was late summer of 2019 when Samantha first set foot upon the Azores. A guest at Rimi’s family run Lodge, the two bonded over their shared values for health and well-being and set off on planning a retreat together for the Spring of 2020.

With the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and endless retreat reschedules, Samantha and Rimi found solace in bridging their worlds between New York City and the Azores, sharing what was raw and real, what was working and what was not. It was in these weekly calls the revolutionary framework for 'Beyond Resilience to Rootsilience' was born, and so began their journey to empower women to a new and balanced path to leadership.

“Rootsilience is about grounding myself in a holistic way on a consistent basis and feeling confident that I can stay empowered and resilient come what stressors will keep coming. I can tap into my own character strengths and utilize what I know about the mind and body and how I can work WITH them to stay resilient, rooted and continue growing, despite some inevitable setbacks."

~ Rebecca,
