Hi, Atalie Oliva

I’m Atalie. Eldest daughter of immigrants. Raised in South Gate, California. I grew up carrying a lot.

Expectations. Responsibility. Pressure. Survival.

I was shaped by both trauma and resilience.

Navigating complex systems while healing intergenerational wounds taught me that leadership and healing cannot be separated.

The Bitter Woman was born from that truth.

If you are a visionary leader, you know the pressure. The hustle. The burnout from trying to build your beautiful vision and carrying it all alone.

We call it “bitter” because we have felt the weight of systems that demand excellence while neglecting our own needs.

Together, we get to heal so we can lead differently.

This Work is Personal

We are a Bitter.

We see leaders stretched thin navigating low morale, communication gaps, and unresolved tension while still trying to serve their communities with care.

We know what it feels like to navigate these systems and try to lead through it.

Our own healing journey led us to this vision.

A practice where we partner with community leaders to strengthen the cultures at the heart of their departments.

Through practical and culturally rooted leadership development, we help teams rebuild trust, improve communication and create a healthier work environment for the people doing the work and the communities depending on them.

We are guided by our North Star called Community. It is the light that guides me as the first generation Latina that was taught to work twice as hard for half the recognition. It is the one carrying the dreams of her ancestors while navigating a
