Choosing the Path That Feels True - How Grief Deepened My Connection To My Purpose

In this episode, I'm sharing something that feels especially tender. I talk about how this season of transition and grief helped clarify what I truly feel called to do next. After years of exploring different paths following the closure of my jewelry business, I found myself returning to a deeper desire to share my voice and tell stories.

I open up about my journey into writing fiction and what it has been like to work on my first novel. I share how the characters found me, why the process has felt both scary and meaningful, and how learning to show up without knowing the outcome has become part of the work.

This episode is an invitation to name what you truly want, even when it feels vulnerable to do so. Sometimes the next chapter asks us to step into the unknown and trust that the path will meet us there.

This episode is for you if:

• You're going through a big life transition and haven't found clarity around what's next for you
• You're on a grief journey and want to harness the power of this unique season
• You're a writer looking for permission to follow your passion
