The Mission
Life's storms
don't have to break you.
Whether it's losing a loved one, a career collapse, an identity crisis, or a financial freefall — storms disorient. But navigating adversity is a skill. One that can be learned, practiced, and taught.
Dr. Lexi Harrigan and Chad Harrigan built Storm Walkers™ on this belief — grounded in faith, evidence-based coaching, and their own lived experience walking through the storm.

Storm Walkers™ Core Principle
The Story
Dr. Lexi Harrigan knows what it means to have the ground disappear beneath you. As a licensed Physical Therapist, she spent years helping bodies heal — never imagining that the most defining work of her life would begin on the cold floor of an ICU hallway, on her knees, screaming for her son.
Grief became her teacher. But what emerged from it was bigger than a grief story. What Dr. Lexi discovered — and built into a full coaching framework — is that the principles that carry us through our deepest loss are the same ones that carry us through every major storm: relationship fractures, identity crises, career collapse, health catastrophes, financial freefall.
That framework is Storm Walkers™, which she co-founded with her husband, Chad Harrigan (PCC). Together they built something grounded in Acceptance & Commitment Therapy principles, CBT, and faith — called Navigational Integrity: the capacity to stay oriented, honest, and moving forward through any storm.
Dr. Lexi's book, Sunny with a Chance of Showers, is the first public expression of that framework. The mission is simple: nobody navigates alone.

The Gap Nobody Fills
Long after
the service ends.
Funeral homes do extraordinary work on the hardest day of a family's life. But when the service ends — the casseroles stop coming, the calls slow down, and grieving families navigate the storm alone.
Storm Walkers™ fills that gap. A structured, faith-informed, evidence-based 4-week group program that gives individuals the tools, community, and support to walk through loss and adversity.
For organizations, offering Storm Walkers™ means your care doesn't end at the graveside.
