ABOUT
DOERS ANONYMOUS
How Doers Anonymous Was Born
Doers Anonymous™ started in a UCLA Honors class—during an assignment about balance that ironically exposed just how out of balance we all were.
The project was simple: create a website for incoming students, built around three themes—Doing, Being, and Belonging. We blitzed through the "Doing" section. Study hacks? Leadership tips? Productivity tools? Easy. Doing was our first language.
Then came Being.
Silence.
Someone finally said, “I don’t get it. Isn’t doing... being?”
That shouldn’t have thrown us. But it did. “Being” didn’t just confuse us—it made us uncomfortable. It felt soft. Indulgent. Maybe even shameful. Like resting meant quitting. Like stillness meant losing. Something about the word made our Type-A nervous systems twitch.
And that’s when someone cracked a joke: “This feels like Doers Anonymous.”
We laughed. But then I paused. It hit a nerve.
I was living it:
Taking 25 units (12 is full-time).
Running a business.
Doing research.
Solo parenting two kids.
Caregiving for my mother with cancer.
And applying to grad school — all at once.
I was highly functional — and completely maxed out.
Then life pushed harder: 21 more units. Moving houses. Supporting my neurodivergent daughter.
Until one morning, I couldn’t get out of bed. My body simply shut down.
I wasn’t spiraling emotionally. I was just offline. The engine stalled. I kept the basics going — but everything else went dark.
No matter how many "self-care" tips I read, none of them spoke to my reality.
“Rest.” With what support?
“Take a break.” And let what fall apart?
“Self-care.” After 97 things already done by bedtime?
It was advice for people with margin. I didn’t have any.
So I started writing — not because I had time, but because I needed language for people like us. High performers whose systems were silently burning out.
That’s how Doers Anonymous™ was born.
What Doers Anonymous™ Is
DA is for people who get things done — but know, deep down, that the way they’re doing it isn’t sustainable.
You’re ambitious. Disciplined. Spiritual, even. But something feels off.
The pressure never lets up. Your health is harder to manage. Your relationships feel strained. And part of you knows: this isn’t just stress — it’s a system that’s run too hot for too long.
This isn’t about doing less.
It’s about doing differently — with clarity, balance, and purpose.
DA exists to help you untangle the deeper drivers behind your grind, so you can stay high-functioning without self-sacrificing.
No fluff. No fixing. No pretending you’re fine.
Just space to be honest, tools that work, and language that actually fits your life.
If you’ve always known something underneath your ambition needs your attention — this is where you start.
