Uncomfortable Friend
Grief is an Uncomfortable Friend. The pain can be unbearable and yet, it's often one of the few things remain after the loss of someone so special. Join me on the journey of "now what" after everything falls apart. My mission is to authentically share my story in an effort to help others feel seen, develop vocabulary around their grief, discuss finding oneself after loss, ways to feel comfort, how to establish meaning, find hope, embrace continued connection, and more. Nothing is off-limits… everyone’s path is unique. I’m honored to have you join me and look forward to your questions, comments, personal stories, and observations. Until we meet again...

Turning 40
Just over a week ago, I turned 40! In the west, woman are sometimes made to feel like we are over the hill or used up by now... but I'm feeling quite the opposite. 40 has felt refreshing, and today, I spend my time answering 10 reflective and profound questions about the first 40 years of my life and what I've learned. I hope all of you can join me on this journey, and reflect on your own answers in hopes of digging more into who you really are instead of "what should I be doing now".
Questions:
- What have I learned about myself that surprised me over these decades?
- What old fears or insecurities have I outgrown, and which ones still need attention?
- When do I feel most alive and in alignment with my authentic self?
- How has my definition of success evolved since my 20s and 30s?
- What dreams or aspirations did I set aside that might be worth revisiting
- What relationships have shaped me most profoundly, and how have I shaped others?
- What do I want the second half of my life to feel like, rather than just look like
- What wisdom would I share with my younger self, and what might that reveal about what I still need to learn?
- How do I want to channel my accumulated experience and capabilities in ways that feel meaningful?
- What parts of myself am I finally ready to accept or embrace?
Until we meet again <3
