NICOLE RIFE · FOUNDER
“There must be a better way.”
Seeing the connections.
Making them useful.
I’m Nicole Rife, a wife and mother, an assistant principal, and a behavior analyst. I built Compass because I was stressed out and needed relief myself.
I wanted to walk into a meeting prepared, come back to unfinished work without starting over, and be present with my family when I got home.

HOW THE RIFE LIFE BEGAN
My own life was the first place I tried it.
I started building the support I needed for my own days. When my plans, notes, and next steps had a place I could come back to, I could step away from work and actually be home.
Then I realized it could help other people, too. That’s how The Rife Life grew.
Today, I work with people on whatever feels hard, complicated, or messy and build something that makes it easier to handle.
