Catherine Hampel, DrPH, MPH is a senior healthcare leader, public health strategist, founder of Connecting Minds Peer Support and the creator of Inner Fire Edition, a reflection series on leadership and resilience.

I believe that connection is a life-saving skill. Our stories, especially the hard ones, become maps for others when they’re shared. This belief informs how I lead, consult, write, speak, and build.

On this site, you’ll find:

• Speaking, consulting, and collaboration opportunities.

• Connecting Minds Peer Support: transforming lived experience into shared strength.

• Inner Fire: short reflections on leadership, resilience, and rebuilding.

• Writing and talks on connection, peer support, and wellbeing
