Kali Fields Williams

Kali Fields Williams has had an unusual number of lives for one person.

She sang in a girl group in Europe and earned a gold record. She tracked poachers and loggers through the Costa Rican rainforest. She was a massage therapist. She lived in Costa Rica, Germany, and Panama before most people had updated their passports. She earned her M.Ed. and M.A. in Counseling Psychology at Columbia University’s Teachers College, raised four kids, and spent two decades helping people do good work.

At Headspace, one of the best-known names in wellness, she helped grow the coaching practice from 12 to more than 200 coaches.

She built a career on helping people take care of themselves.

Then she hit the floor.

The same work that knocked her down showed her the way back up.

That climb taught her what every one of those lives had been trying to say. What we take without giving back runs out, in forests and in people. That led her to a question most leadership books won’t touch. What if the habit that wears down people and the habit that wears down the planet are the same habit?

That question became The Earthy Executive. Today she helps managers put AI to work in their real workflows without wearing out their teams, and she builds calm, intentional AI for coaches and practitioners. People first, then the tools.

Renewable You is the method underneath all of it. Five REAL pillars, Reclaim, Ease, Attune, Lead, and Reframe, for anyone who wants to work in a way they can actually sustain. Nature does not grind. It cycles.

She lives in Oakland, California, with Kofi the dog and a very full house.
