After an unimaginable personal loss, I found myself navigating the crushing weight of grief while trying to hold life together for my family.

There were days I couldn’t breathe, let alone “make lemonade.”
But through each bitter moment, I learned to lean into grace — not perfection, not productivity — just grace.

Now, I help others do the same.

Today, I speak to audiences around the country about resilience, grief, and the quiet strength it takes to keep going. I use my own story to show how even in the darkest seasons, transformation is possible.
