Practicing what I preach! Sort of 😅

Now, make sure the ones who will need them know where they are!

Yikes 😳 everything is now in order 😅

RESOURCE ALERT! I’m very excited to have this new resource I created to help people become more aware of the natural dying process. My hope is to soften fears and help people become more present and peaceful at end of life. What do you think?! 🤩💕.

Time is only part of it. Time gets you to a place of “ok”. A better formula is Time + Intention + Effort + Self Love = Healing in Action. This formula will help you realize a life you never could have imagined was possible after the death of your person. What do you imagine is possible if you expand your definition of healing? Let me know in the comments🫶

Time = Healing —maybe… 🧐 but that’s only part of the formula.

What’s missing?

Effort, intention, and learning to love all the parts of you that feel unloveable.

Time + Effort + Intention + Love = Healing in Action 💓

The last element is asking for help from someone who’s been there.

Reach out when you are ready to take action.

In the beginning, grief can feel very intense and all consuming. It’s hard to notice anything outside your own pain.

In the first session with a new client, I gently guide them to clearly articulate, in their own words, current problems, desired outcomes, resources needed to support healing, and any obstacles that may block progress.

This creates a written roadmap that guides our future coaching sessions.

Recently, a client was not feeling like she was making progress. So we went back to the original session notes, and she was able to see and feel how much she had grown. There were so many problems that were no longer a problem for her.

With this new awareness, we were able to continue to focus on the present and all the possibilities for her life beyond the loss of her beloved mom.

Sooo beautiful to witness healing in real time 💛✨🙏

Enjoying the life you have left does not mean you didn’t love them enough. It means you now know what is most important (and what isn’t). Live a life you can’t wait to tell them about!

In the early days of grief everything is distorted. You may feel disconnected from your body and the world. This is a natural part of the process. Your body is working really hard to process everything you’ve just been through. Your body knows how to grieve. What is it trying to tell you?

01/21/2026

The early days of grief are intense and disorienting. There is no future—only pain in the present and constant replay of what you’ve just been through.

This is normal and natural and part of the process. Allow it to be what it needs to be. Your body, mind, and spirit are working really hard to process everything that just happened. They need nourishment and gentleness and grace. It’s now time to be a caregiver to your Self.

Your future Self thanks you, loves you, and is waiting for you.
