Have you ever felt that tug on your heart - the one that says, “My story matters… and I want to leave something meaningful behind”?

That’s the heart of a spiritual-ethical will - not a legal document - but a love letter to the future. A place to share your values, your memories, your lessons, and the wisdom you’ve earned along the way.

And for women?

This is sacred work. For generations, our stories lived in our kitchens, our hearts, and our private thoughts… but rarely made it onto the page.

It’s time to change that. 💛

If you’ve been wanting to write your story, document your journey, or create a personal legacy for the people you love, I’d love to invite you into something truly special:

🌿 **Love & Legacy

Women’s Legacy Creation Circle**
12 weeks — beginning January 13

A warm, supportive community where we’ll write together, reflect together, and craft the ethical wills, legacy letters, and personal stories our hearts have been waiting to share.

✨ Early access + a special discount are available until Dec. 15.

If your spirit whispers “yes,” this is your sign.

Join us — your story deserves to be remembered.
💛 Link in bio or message me for details.

*PS. I still have my Fashion Plates, and may or may not have used them with my bestie in recent years. 😀

💬 Grief doesn’t have to be a solitary path.

As a certified master grief companion and coach, I create a safe, sacred space for those grieving, for loss, for transitions, for endings.

Through one to one sessions, community groups and educational content, I hold space for your story, your feelings, and your healing.

You don’t have to walk this path alone.

Whether you're grieving the loss of a loved one or navigating a deep personal shift, I’m here to help you find your way forward—with compassion, understanding, and no judgment.

Let’s take the first step together. Schedule your grief companion session today.

Healing happens when we lean into one another.

😱 Are you anxious about what dying will feel like or what it means?

🪦 Does thinking about death cause you dread about those big existential and spiritual questions and concerns?

🩶 Are you suffering from anticipatory grief around a life-altering or life-shortening diagnosis?

The fear of death is one of the greatest fears of most people in the Western world. Facing end of life is scary. No one should have to do it alone.

Fear paralyzes you. Whether you are facing the end of life, or you are supporting a loved one at this time, you are not alone. Working with a me keeps you and your loved one from missing the chance for peace, clarity, connection, and dignity during one of life’s most profound transitions.

Most people think end-of-life care is just medical, but really it’s all HUMAN. The fear and dread we have about death is also human. But there’s a whole world of emotional, spiritual, and practical support that can change the experience entirely.

Let’s talk about what matters most—before it’s too late to say it out loud.

Schedule a free consultation to begin the conversation you’ve been holding in your heart.

Think About It Thursday.

I'm asking you today to think about some of the big questions. Those "Death Bed" questions: Who are you? What does it all mean? What is my purpose? Am I living the life I want or am I living for others expectations?

We shouldn't wait until our death beds to think about these questions. I invite you to think about them now, so that you can live now with peace, purpose and presence.

In January, I'll be co-leading and facilitating a 12-week Women's Workshop "Love & Legacy with Maria Davis at Kindling Studios where we will: Write. Heal. Create. and Remember. Reach out for more information or see the link in the comments. Early bird special through Dec. 15.

Thanks for taking a couple of minutes to Think About It today. See you next week.

If the holidays feel heavy this year… I see you.
Grief doesn’t care about festive lights or calendars.
It arrives in waves — even years later.

It’s a gentle way to care for your heart through a tender season.

Join me for:
• Simple daily practices
• Permission to feel what you feel
• Support without pressure
• Rituals, grounding, and compassion
