Engineer the state
you work from.
You debug systems for a living. You've never been taught to debug your own. Work–Mind Aligned is a workshop and a pocket app that teach you to read your internal state — and shift it — in the exact work moments it slips.
Installable. Works offline. Your check-in data stays on your device.
Stress compounds when it runs unchecked. With the toolkit, you catch it early — before it pulls you down the rabbit hole.Tara Foroozan, founder
Your battery is empty when you're dysregulated.
Tara spent a decade as a materials scientist engineering why energy systems charge, degrade, and fail — then burned out herself in US corporate life. The fix wasn't another meditation app. It was applying the same engineering lens to her own nervous system.
A battery
- Degrades fastest under constant high load
- Fails at the interfaces — the small details
- Needs the right charge/discharge cycle, not just more power
- You diagnose the cause before you fix it
A person at work
- Burns out fastest under constant pressure with no recovery
- Frays in the small moments — the meeting, the inbox, the reset
- Needs state regulation, not just more discipline
- You learn to read the signal before you respond
Built for analytical minds.
Engineers, scientists, founders, operators — people who want a method they can actually reason about, not vague advice.
Specific to the work moment.
Not general nervous-system content. You tell it where you are — and it gives you a short, guided practice matched to that exact moment.
Learn it in the workshop. Live it with the app.
The method isn't one-size-fits-all. The workshop teaches you to find it in yourself — then the app is the tool you carry into every workday after.
Sense the body, observe the mind
- How to sense your internal state and observe your mind
- How work patterns show up across body, attention, and emotion
- The six toolkits, and how to integrate them into your real workday
- In person, for teams — or live online
The toolkit, in your pocket
- Pick the moment → get a matched, guided practice
- Breathing, grounding, reframing — short and repeatable
- A private Signals Map that helps you see what shifts your state
- Installable PWA, fully offline
Companies start with the workshop; the app comes with it. Individuals can open the app today.

PhD in battery materials. A decade engineering energy systems in academia and the Bay Area. After burnout, she stepped back and rebuilt — then turned the engineer's method on the one system no one had taught her to work on: her own state.
