I know this because I lived it.

From age 6, grief was all I knew. It showed up differently over the years — sometimes loud, sometimes just a low hum beneath everything — but it was always there, quietly running the show. For 30+ years, I did what most of us were taught to do: ignore it, dodge it, push it down, keep moving.

Until I turned 40 and chose to do grief differently.

That choice changed everything. And now I’m here — not to tell you what to do, but to walk alongside you as you find your own way through.

It’s never too soon. And it’s never too late to address your grief.

You don’t have to figure this out alone. If you’ve been surviving in the quiet — if there’s something still unsaid living in your chest — let’s create a space where it can finally breathe.

A Clear, Three-Step Path to Do Grief Differently and Unburden Your Heart.

Do you want to work with someone who has done their own deep grief work (and continues to do so) and can sit with you in your pain without pathologizing it?

Do you want to work with someone who will create a space of emotional safety and help you feel more understood, not pressured, dependent, or spiritually bypassed?

Listen, I get it.

My midlife unraveling began in 2014, when my youngest was starting kindergarten, and I was simultaneously questioning my life’s purpose as a professional photographer.

I remember the anxiety of decision-making, the overwhelm of “what to do with my life,” and the fear of getting it all wrong. I was becoming unrecognizable to myself as I began to spiral downward. Getting sick and tired of being sick and tired set me off on a quest to “figure my shit out.”

By 2015, my physical health began to show the wear and tear. I was finding myself putting my self-care on the back burner. And I became convinced that if I could only “figure me out,” I would unlock everything and feel good again.

I was devouring every personality test known to man like it was my full-time job. I began reading self-help books and investing in programs, eventually in life coaching, to make sense of the inner turmoil I was experiencing.

By 2017, after investing thousands of dollars into my quest for self-awareness, I began to feel lighter. I started to blog about what I was learning. I felt myself spiritually awakening, and felt called to share, and slowly a new purpose began to unfold and reveal itself.

By the end of 2017, I self-published my book, and I thought I had life (and my emotional turmoil) licked.

I couldn’t have been more wrong.

As it turns out, grief will continue to barge into your life and leave you with whiplash until you sit with it.

Another loss in 2017 that woke up a lot of old wounds related to my father’s death, just before my book was published, reminded me that just when you think you’re healed, the Universe will step in and smack you across the face, as if to say: “Oh yeah? You think you’re healed? Think again!”

Then, when hit with another loss (of a friendship) in 2018, I realized I was not okay, and that it was time to surrender to the fact that I needed support for grief, which was at the heart of all of my emotional dis-ease and external manifestations.

I had no idea what was in store for me, but one Google search on how to recover from grief would flip everything I believed about grief and loss on its head.

In early 2019, I reached the other side of a life-changing experience that I still feel was one of the most pivotal of my life. Grief Recovery changed my life in all aspects. Everything I’ve accomplished has been achieved only after addressing the emotional weight of my grief. I finally surrendered and sat with my grief, and I have only one regret—that I didn’t do it sooner.

Not for me to tell you what to do; that’s not how I roll.

I believe in the freedom to choose, making empowered decisions from internal alignment, and not forcing anything.

you can unburden your heart & live unleashed.

Yes, you.

Have you ever wondered if you’ll ever feel like yourself again?
If grief will always feel this heavy, or if this is just how life is now?

I know what it’s like to move through the days carrying unprocessed grief—showing up for others while feeling disconnected, emotionally tired, or unsure where to turn.

What I’ve learned, and what I want you to know, is this: you have more choice than it may feel like right now.

Choosing support can feel like:

• Permitting yourself to stop carrying everything alone.

• Releasing the pressure to fix or manage everyone else’s emotions.

• Allowing things to change without forcing them.

• Choosing yourself without guilt or justification.

If reading feels supportive right now…
These reflections are here for quiet moments, curious hearts, and those who want to understand grief better.
