I’ve spent a lot of my life trying to be okay with things I wasn’t actually okay with.

Losing my best friend is one of them.

More than 30 years of friendship.

A person who felt like family.

And then, suddenly, we weren’t speaking.

I wasn’t prepared for how much it would hurt.

People understand grieving a death.

But there’s another kind of grief that happens when someone is still alive, but they’re no longer in your life.

And for me, this has been incredibly painful.

There are no flowers.

No funeral.

No final goodbye.

Just questions.

What happened?
How did we get here?
Could I have done something differently?
Will we ever find our way back?

And the truth is, I still don’t understand it.

I’m still devastated.

I’m still grieving.

And I’m learning that moving forward doesn’t require me to pretend that I’m okay with losing someone I never wanted to lose.

Have you ever had to grieve someone who was still alive?

You don’t have to tell me who. Just tell me if you understand this kind of loss.

There is something nobody tells you about grief:

You can be completely devastated and still be incredibly functional.

When my mom died, the weight of her loss was tremendous.

But there was also the business of death.

The hospital. The paperwork. The decisions. The phone calls. The things that had to be handled when all you really wanted was for your mom to still be here.

So you do what you have to do.

You make the calls.

You make the decisions.

You answer the questions.

You get through the day.

And eventually people see you functioning and think you’re okay.

But functioning isn’t the same thing as healing.

Sometimes you’re just surviving.

And grief doesn’t have a deadline just because everyone else has gone back to their normal lives.

If you’ve ever had someone assume you were okay because you were functioning, you are not alone.

My 9/11 story

🚨 STOP SCROLLING: You might be body checking WAY more than you think.

I tried to count how many times I body checked in one day.

I gave up after an hour.

Because I realized the number was going to be embarrassingly high.

Mirror? Check.

Pulling my shirt down to see my stomach? Check.

Turning sideways? Check.

Checking how my body looks in a window reflection? Check.

Looking at a photo and immediately analyzing my body? CHECK.

And here’s the controversial part:

I don’t think body checking is harmless.

Every time I obsessively check my body, I’m sending my brain the message:

👉 “My body needs to be monitored.”
👉 “Something might be wrong.”
👉 “I need to make sure I’m still acceptable.”

And THAT is the narrative I’m trying to change.

So instead of staring at my body and asking, “Do I look okay?”

I’m trying to ask:

“Why do I need to know right now?”

Am I anxious?

Comparing myself?

Looking for reassurance?

Feeling uncomfortable in my body?

And sometimes the most powerful thing I can do is walk away from the mirror.

Because your body is not a project.

It’s not a before-and-after picture.

And you don’t need to spend your entire day evaluating it to deserve to feel good about yourself.

🔥 Now I want to know:

How many times do you think YOU body check in a day?

And be honest…

Do you think body checking is harmless, or do you think it actually makes body image worse?

👇 Pick a side. I REALLY want to hear what you think.

At 53 years old, I did something that might seem small to most people… but for me, it was a huge win.

Today, I walked into a brand-new Vietnamese restaurant. On the drive there, I was anxious. My mind was racing with all the “what ifs.”

The restaurant was clean, the staff was kind, and I ordered a bánh mì. I only ate half because, honestly, I didn’t really like it. If I had to rate it, I’d give it a 3/10.

But here’s the thing…

This post isn’t about the sandwich.

It’s about doing something that scared me anyway.

Years ago, my anxiety would have convinced me to turn the car around. Coaching helped me build the tools to move through fear instead of letting fear make my decisions.

Progress isn’t always about loving the outcome. Sometimes it’s simply about showing up, trying, and proving to yourself that you’re stronger than your anxiety.

What have you done recently that made you proud of yourself, even if it didn’t go perfectly? Tell me in the comments—I want to celebrate your win with you. 💙

No one prepares you for the version of yourself that exists after everything falls apart.

After the divorce.
After the funeral.
After the eating disorder.
After the job loss.
After the life you thought you’d have disappears.

People often tell you to “move on.”

But what if you don’t even know who you’re supposed to be anymore?

I’ve lived through more than one life-changing transition. I’ve lost both of my parents. I’ve battled an eating disorder for years. I’ve gone through divorce. I’ve had moments where I questioned whether I would ever feel like myself again.

What I’ve learned is this:

Healing isn’t about going back to who you were.

It’s about becoming someone stronger, wiser, and more compassionate because of what you’ve survived.

That’s why I’m so passionate about helping women navigate life’s hardest transitions. You don’t have to have all the answers today. You don’t have to do it perfectly. And you certainly don’t have to do it alone.

If you’re in the middle of a difficult season, I want you to know that there is hope—even if you can’t see it yet.

Your story might be exactly what someone else needs to hear today.

💔 Losing someone you love changes you forever.

It doesn’t matter whether it was a parent, a spouse, a sibling, a child, or a dear friend. The world keeps moving, but your world has been turned upside down.

People often say things like, “Time heals all wounds,” or “They’re in a better place.” While those words usually come from a place of kindness, they don’t take away the emptiness you feel.

When my dad died in 2019 and my mom passed away in December 2024, I learned that grief has no timeline. It shows up in unexpected moments—a song, an empty chair, a birthday, a holiday, or when you instinctively reach for your phone to call someone who is no longer there.

You don’t have to “get over it.” You don’t have to pretend you’re okay. Grief becomes something you learn to carry, and over time, you can begin to build a meaningful life alongside it.

That’s where coaching can help. It won’t erase your loss or replace the person you miss. But it can help you navigate the uncertainty, process the changes, and find hope and purpose again—one step at a time.

❤️ If you’ve lost someone you love, what’s one thing you wish people understood about grief? Share it below. Your words may help someone else feel a little less alone.
