A week after my debut memoir hit shelves, I was laid off from my corporate job—alongside 30,000 others.
Instead of panicking, I’ve spent this year rebuilding: leaning into writing full-time, getting certified as a grief coach, and figuring out what a career built entirely on my own terms actually looks like.
I decided to document it—the good, the messy, the unglamorous—in a new weekly vlog. This first episode covers:
→ Releasing “The Luck We Carry,” a memoir about grief after losing my husband, Ken
→ The pivot from a “meaningless” 9-to-5 to work that actually matters to me
→ My first author event at my local library (surreal doesn’t begin to cover it)
→ Why journaling has been the single most powerful tool in processing loss
→ The reality of building freelance and coaching work from scratch
If you’ve ever considered a pivot — whether by choice or circumstance — I hope this gives you an honest look at what it actually takes.
