speaking

Let's talk about the uncomfortable things so we can get comfortable. I am available and willing to speak to businesses, organizations, and groups about grief, and my story as a way to help you unpack your own. These conversations open the door to knowledge, hope and embracing your life now without fear. 

​

Becoming Grief Confident

(30-60 min sessions offered):

​

From pretending to expressing â€‹

​

Grief is messy, uncomfortable, and deeply personal — but avoiding it doesn’t make it disappear. Instead of pretending we’re okay, let’s step into our own unique experience. Becoming authentic as a grieving human. Let’s get grief confident.

​

In this talk, I’ll share some of my personal experience which has lead to these 4 steps. 

Steps I took through my own unique journey as a widow and learned from others as a grief coach, educator, end-of-life doula and an author. Together, we’ll explore how to move with grief using the tools of honesty, courage, and self-compassion.

​

The Path to Grief Confidence

🌿 Feelings – Emotions are data, not problems to fix. Let’s acknowledge them.
🌿 Curiosity – With gentle curiosity, we can examine our grief instead of fearing it.
🌿 Clarity – Tenderly exploring our emotions helps us find truth, not erase pain.
🌿 Action – Healing begins when we turn toward our grief instead of running from it.

​

This conversation will be real, heartfelt, and yes—it’s about to get feely in here. But that’s where healing starts.
