My journey into grief work didn’t begin in a classroom—it began in my own life, shaped by personal heartbreak and the quiet ache of losses that were often unseen.
I’ve experienced the heartbreak of two miscarriages. I’ve grieved alongside my daughters as they faced infertility and multiple pregnancy losses. I’ve held space for the loss of my stillborn brother when I was just 11. Most recently, my family and I walked through my dad’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis and death, followed by the immense loss of my mom in 2022.
Each loss has layered into the next, reminding me that grief doesn’t replace grief—it echoes it. And yet, I’ve also witnessed the resilience that grows in its place.
During the years I worked at a local funeral home, I became a quiet presence for grieving families. Listening. Supporting. Witnessing stories unfold in raw, sacred moments. At the same time, my own daughters were navigating the heartbreak of infertility—and as a mother, I grieved both for them and with them.
It was during those moments that I realized how much of my own grief remained unresolved—and how many women carry invisible grief that no one sees, understands, or gives them permission to feel.
That realization led to my work today—and to a calling I couldn’t ignore.
What if the reason you feel stuck, uninspired, or disconnected isn’t burnout … but grief?
