Simply put, my "why" and purpose in life is to meet you where you're at in both your grieving experience, and personal evolution. Because when we go through a loss, everything we knew and were comfortable with is shaken. I know this feeling all too well, and I want you to know I'm here to be an ally, guide, and support system for you in your journey.

Losses Become Gains came to fruition in February 2021. There came a point in my journey of loss where I just knew all of this loss just couldn't be for nothing. But getting to this point? Not so easy. I didn't know what LBG would look like at the time, I just knew it was meant to exist.

I know now that my soul's purpose is to support and guide fellow grievers through their grief. I feel your pain, I see you, and I'm here to be an ally in every sense of the word.

After some time, I knew I had to take some action. Enter—Losses Become Gains (which I lovingly refer to as "LBG"). A founding principle of LBG is to make this process as human to human as possible, because it's a very human thing to experience loss. But there’s more to me than my story of grief, loss, and finding my gains. Just as you are so much more than your loss.

I wasn't always in this "grief club". I never envisioned myself with clients, a grief & loss podcast, mini-courses... all without my parents, and before the age of 30

In fact, most of my live was lived blissfully unaware and unaffected by major loss. While I had lost a couple of family members—and those were difficult in their own right—it didn't hit home like losing a parent. I never thought any of this would happen to me... until it did. Perhaps you can relate to that, too?

Perhaps you can relate to that, too?

I'm so excited for you to meet my family, and to share their memory with you. They're the three reasons I created Losses Become Gains, and losing each of them has changed my life profoundly—just as I have no doubt your loved ones have changed yours, too.

They're my North Stars, the "why" behind everything I do, and made me into the person I am today. 

But I've had a passion for teaching, guiding, and writing for a very, very long time, too. My family always believed in me, and long story short... Losses Become Gains wouldn't exist if it weren't for them.

And my dog, Princess. She lived to age 19!

MEET MY "WHY"

I enjoy getting to know people on a deep level, and I'm a REALLY open book. Especially when it comes to my losses. If someone is comfortable, I'm the type to sit down and say, "alright, let's go there" and get really into it. That's how I roll. Zero shame game over here.

No matter the kind of loss you're going through—the loss of a loved one, a cherished pet, relationship, job—coping with a "new normal" can be relatable across the board. I want to help you get there and be there for you.

I want to be real with you...

Life is too short not to live it as happily as possible... Yes, even after a major (or even minor) loss. But sometimes in the thick of grief, it's nearly impossible to see the other side. Does this sound familiar?
