FRACTURE
You're not a martyr for a movement. You're a consultant. Start acting like one.
The podcast for nonprofit fractional consultants.
Yeah… we need to talk
You’re done with burnout disguised as purpose. This is your unfiltered, invite-only space to rethink what it means to do good work — and get well-paid for it.
The nonprofit sector has a way of making burnout feel like dedication. Sound familiar?
You’re tired of:
Watching other consultants bill “crazy” amounts for work you could do in your sleep
Being the person everyone leans on and no one promotes
Accidentally recreating "other duties as assigned" in your own consulting business
Being told "we don't have the budget" after submitting a 20-hour custom proposal
Working harder than you did in-house and making less
You’re here to do meaningful work — without sacrificing your sanity, salary, or Saturdays.
Every episode drops the practical shit you need to build your fractional business and:
Charge rates that make your old nonprofit ED clutch their pearls
Stop explaining your value to board members who think $500 is a "generous" budget
Buy that ergonomic office chair - no more nonprofit hand-me-downs!
Fund your kid's college account AND your own retirement
UNFILTERED. OFF THE RECORD.
Your Backstage Pass to the Nonprofit Fractional consulting Model.
You’re not broken. The system is.
Fracture is not another “thought leadership” podcast trying to impress the sector. It’s for people like you — who are done trying to make a broken system work by working harder.
This is where we talk openly about what it takes to build a consulting business that pays you well, respects your time, and still lets you care deeply about your work.
Meet Your Host
After two decades in the sector — including leadership roles, burnout cycles, and boardroom politics — Cindy built a consulting business that finally paid her well and let her breathe.
Not one to leave others behind, Cindy now helps other nonprofit professionals do the same as a business coach and founder of the Nonprofit Fractional Movement.
Cindy has supported over 100 nonprofit professionals in building profitable fractional careers, hosted the Fractional/Shift virtual summit for nonprofit fractional executives, and spoken on the topic on some of the sector’s top podcasts like We Are For Good, What The Fundraising, and more.
She’s known for cutting through the noise and giving nonprofit consultants the clarity, strategy, and permission they’ve been craving.
Because Fracture isn’t just about what’s wrong with the system — it’s about showing you what’s possible instead.
More money. More freedom. More impact — without the burnout, second-guessing, or selling out.
This is the space to finally hear what you needed someone to say — and start building the business you’ve been dreaming about.
READY TO HEAR WHAT NO ONE ELSE IS SAYING?
Tune into to Fracture and get access to the conversations nonprofit consultants actually need to be having — the ones that help you raise your rates, reclaim your time, and build a business that works.
