Years ago, I had what many would call a normal life. I was running a successful business, raising two beautiful children, and married to my best friend. We had been together for 16 years and were building a future we believed in.
Then, in an instant, everything changed. My husband died by suicide.
No matter how hard we tried, we couldn’t save him. Overnight, I became a widow, a single mother, and someone trying to survive a level of grief and trauma I never imagined possible. There are parts of that time I don’t remember. Trauma has a way of doing that.
But one thing I remember clearly is the loneliness. I remember trying to be strong for my children while feeling completely lost myself. I remember wondering why no one talks about what happens after the funeral, when everyone goes home and you’re left to figure out how to keep living. I remember thinking, “There have to be other people sitting alone tonight feeling exactly like this.”
That thought never left me.
Still Here Coaching Co., Inc. was born from a promise I made during that season of my life: if I found my way forward, I would help others find theirs.
Today, that mission is larger than loss. I work with women who feel stuck — navigating grief, burnout, life transitions, the wreckage of a toxic relationship, or a quiet disconnection from the person they know they can become.
I believe most people are not broken. They’re carrying pain, exhaustion, fear, or uncertainty that has made it difficult to see their own strength.
My role isn’t to become your hero. My role is to help you rediscover the strength, resilience, and purpose that are already within you.
Because even after life’s hardest moments… you’re still here. And as long as you’re still here, there is hope, there is purpose, and there is another chapter waiting to be written.
