Shanita Murray is a workplace well-being strategist and certified stress management consultant with over fifteen years of experience helping professionals navigate the psychological demands of modern work. After witnessing the dramatic rise in burnout and stress-related illness during the pandemic-era shift to remote work, she founded Resilience at Distance, a consulting practice dedicated to equipping remote professionals and distributed teams with evidence-based stress management tools.
Shanita holds a Master of Science in Organizational Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania and is a certified practitioner in cognitive behavioral stress reduction and somatic experiencing. She has worked with organizations ranging from early-stage startups to Fortune 500 companies, delivering workshops, leadership coaching, and systemic interventions that address both individual resilience and organizational culture.
Her writing has appeared in *Harvard Business Review*, *Forbes*, and *Psychology Today*, where she covers topics including remote work sustainability, digital wellness, and the psychology of workplace boundaries. She is a frequent speaker at industry conferences and has been featured on podcasts and webinars reaching over half a million listeners worldwide.
Shanita lives in Portland, Oregon, where she practices what she preaches—maintaining strict boundaries between her work and personal life, taking daily walks in Forest Park, and insisting that every meeting longer than thirty minutes include a stretch break. She believes that sustainable remote work is not an individual achievement but a collective responsibility, and that the most important stress management tool is the courage to advocate for your own well-being.
