If you were furious when the province used the notwithstanding clause to silence teachers, you should be just as outraged now.

Alberta has reached for the clause again to uphold restrictions that block gender-affirming healthcare for trans youth under 16. Not just surgeries, but even reversible treatments like puberty blockers. Care that is widely recognized as safe, necessary, and life-saving.

Medical experts, 2SLGBTQIA+ organizations, and legal advocates have been clear. These restrictions violate rights. They’re built on misinformation. And they unfairly target some of the most vulnerable young people in our province.

This is not an isolated decision. It’s part of a long pattern of using state power to control bodies and suppress communities. The same clause used to try to block same-sex marriage. The same clause used to force teachers back to work. The same clause now being used to tell trans kids their lives and identities are political bargaining chips.

For many of us, this lands as grief. The grief of watching safety erode. The grief of seeing rights handled like they’re optional. The grief of knowing that when one group is targeted, every one of us becomes less free.

If their rights aren’t protected, none of ours are.
If they aren’t safe, none of us are safe.

And here’s where we turn outrage into action.

I sit on the board of , and alongside Egale Canada, they are challenging in court. If you’re able, you can support their work by donating toward the legal fight.

This moment calls for solidarity, courage, and collective resistance.
Not silence.
Not complacency.
Not looking away.

We stand together.
Or we lose together.

Embracing my q***rness after divorce has been one of the most tender and complicated chapters of my life.

People often assume that stepping into a q***r identity means the grief disappears. That choosing my truth cancels out the ache of what ended. Yet q***r becoming holds so many layers. There is grief in the years I silenced myself. Grief in the parts of me I hid to survive. Grief in letting go of a life I once believed I had to live.

And there is also liberation.
A breath I didn’t know I was holding.
A sense of rightness that sits in my bones.
A future that finally feels like it belongs to me.

Q***r grief is real. It comes with identity shifts, unlearning, and the slow work of rebuilding a life that reflects who you actually are. It asks you to look at your past with compassion and step toward your future with courage. It holds both mourning and becoming in the same hand.

If you’re walking this path, I hope you know there is nothing wrong with you for grieving what was while celebrating what is emerging. You’re allowed to feel proud, scared, relieved, heartbroken, hopeful, and alive all at once. That mix is human.

Tell me… which part of your own becoming has felt the hardest or the most liberating to name?

When we talk about grief, we can’t ignore identity.

Because who you are, where you come from, and the systems you move through all shape how loss is carried and how care is given.

Pregnancy and infant loss rates are nearly twice as high among Indigenous families.
Black, racialized, and 2SLGBTQIA+ communities also face higher risks and fewer supports.

That’s not coincidence. That’s consequence.

These numbers tell a story about inequity, silence, and a system that was never built to hold everyone.

Grief literacy isn’t soft work. It’s justice work. It’s learning to look directly at what we’ve been taught to turn away from.

So the question becomes:
What are we going to do with what we know?
Scroll past it?
Or start listening, learning, and demanding better care?

As October and Pregnancy Loss Awareness Month comes to a close, I’m reflecting on the meaningful conversations that shaped this month.

I had the privilege of connecting with Alberta Midwives to speak about pregnancy and infant loss, and joining Soft Choice through their Reproductive Loss Network as an expert voice in a conversation on the partner’s experience and the role culture plays in how we grieve.

I also had the honour of joining Meadow Lake Tribal Council in person in Saskatoon to talk about how culture, identity and lived experience shapes our grief experiences.

Partners are often the quiet carriers of loss. Culture shapes what grief is allowed to look like. When we start to name these truths, we open the door to deeper healing and understanding.

Grief is universal, yet deeply personal. The more we make space for it in our workplaces, communities, and systems of care, the more we begin to heal together.

💜 Thank you to everyone continuing to make room for these needed conversations.

What’s happening in Alberta right now is not only political, it’s personal.

The government has invoked the Notwithstanding Clause to force teachers back to work, silencing their right to protest for safe, supported classrooms. The same clause is also being used to stop trans youth from receiving gender-affirming care.

The last time Alberta used this clause was in 2000 to try to block same-sex marriage. History is repeating itself in real time, and if that doesn’t shake you, it should.

This isn’t about one issue. It’s about a pattern. A playbook of control.

When any government starts deciding whose rights can be paused, no one’s rights are safe.

Grief and rage walk hand in hand right now. Because what we are watching is loss. The loss of justice, of trust, of the freedoms we once believed were protected.

If one of us isn’t free, none of us are.

And the only way forward is together.

Resisting isn’t radical, it’s necessary.

October 15 is Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Day. This day can feel tender. Heavy. Quiet in a way that hurts.

For many, it’s a day that brings up what was lost… the dreams, the hopes, the beginnings that never had a chance to grow.

These affirmations are for anyone marking the day and/or Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month in their own way.

May they be gentle reminders that what you went through matters. That your experience is valid. That healing doesn’t have to look like “moving on.”

💜 Today, we invite you to pause to remember together.

At 7pm, as candles flicker across the world for the global Wave of Light, may you feel the quiet connection of others also on this journey.

Light a candle. Whisper a name. Share a memory.

Let’s break the silence.

What book carried you through pregnancy & infant loss? 👇🏽

October is Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month, a time to remember, to honour, and to hold space for every story of love and loss.

Over the years, I’ve gathered books that remind us we’re not alone.

Stories that tell the truth about grief… its ache, its rage, its quiet beauty.

Some offered comfort. Some challenged me to see differently. All helped me find language when words failed.

If you’re walking alongside someone who’s experienced a loss, or you’re trying to find the right words for your own loss… I’ve created something just for you.

✨ Check out “What to Say When You Don’t Know What to Say: TO a Griever and AS a Griever.”

This guide is designed to help you navigate supporting others through loss with intention and impact.

Comment ‘SPEAK’ below, and I’ll send you the link to download the eBook.

💜 And save this post for the days you need gentle company or to share with others.

Today, on National Day for Truth & Reconciliation, I recognize that healing cannot happen without truth.

I pause to honour the thousands of Indigenous children who never made it home, and the Survivors who did, carrying the weight of trauma and resilience across generations.

Grief calls us inward. It asks us to face what’s been silenced. To hold discomfort. To name the harm. To unlearn.

Reconciliation is not a one-day event. It is daily work… listening deeply, learning honestly, and choosing to live differently.

May today stir reflection, remembrance, and responsibility.

May we commit, in heart and action, to doing better.
