Dr. Gigi Burke

Wholeness Leads. 
Wellbeing Sustains.
 

Welcome!!!

I'm Dr. Gigi Burke,  a Wellbeing Strategist, Leadership Mentor, Grief Guide, and Space Dreamer. I partner with visionary Black and Brown women leaders — entrepreneurs, executives, changemakers, and creatives — and mission-driven organizations to lead, build, and vision without abandoning themselves, even in seasons of grief, change, and deep transition. 

This is a space for Black and Brown women leaders who are leading, building, and holding a lot. Grief. Transition. Vision. Responsibility. The quiet weight of it all.

You’re doing meaningful work, running businesses, guiding teams, stewarding missions, while carrying complexities that live far beneath the surface.

You’ve been holding it together, even as something inside you longs to be held. And you’re ready to lead in a way that doesn’t require you to abandon yourself just to keep it all going.  

My Philosophy

Wholeness isn’t the reward, it’s where we begin.   

I believe leadership should never require you to leave parts of yourself behind. Growth doesn’t have to demand performance, and healing shouldn’t mean hiding.

Wellbeing is the strategy,  the foundation for leading in ways that are sustainable, soul-aligned, and true to who you are. It’s how you recover from the weight of harmful experiences, cultural expectations, and systemic barriers, and how you lead without fragmenting yourself in the process.  

Whether you’re building a business, guiding a team, or stewarding a mission, your leadership deserves to be resourced, your healing deserves to be witnessed, and your wholeness deserves to be the starting point, not the afterthought. 

When Anger Speaks

Because your anger isn’t the problem,  it’s a path back to what matters.

Anger can hold powerful truths about what you value, what you’ve endured, and what you will no longer carry alone. In this work, we bring curiosity, care, and strategy to what your anger is showing you,  transforming it from a hidden weight into a guide for deeper leadership, connection, and self-trust. 

Here, your anger isn’t a flaw to fix. It’s an invitation back to your wholeness.

THANK YOU, GIGI, for being there to help me work through. You may not even know the impact you had…but even a kind word, gesture, acknowledgment of someone can bring the out of their fog, even for a moment long enough to see that there is sunshine and clarity.

I started first working with Gigi in fall of 2018. She was very patient, generous of her time, and gave good advice with me. I now have a job! One would do well to follow her advice and suggestions.
