Work nourishes life.
DayBalancer helps independent providers integrate work and life via trusted networks dedicated to mutual support.
As creatives, service providers, skilled tradespeople, and licensed providers, we often don’t have the support systems that traditional employment provides. We seek steady income, benefits, professional development, and a built-in peer community, so we're helping independents create access to these.
We honor our whole selves while giving back to the ecosystems that sustain us. We work to increase self-awareness, build trusted relationships, choose compatible opportunities, and build systems that support sustainable livelihoods.
DayBalancer is free for all independent professionals to thrive together. Supporting members gain advanced features and help guide our direction.
Our promise: Achieve collective balance across personal, professional, and community wellbeing.
Team: Led by Jessie Upp and a cooperative team of advisors below, we’re removing local barriers to regenerative lifestyles by making mutual support networks easy to build at scale. We're building toward a worker-owned cooperative structure, where value circulates back to members. We're actively developing the pathway to member-ownership as we grow.
