⚓💙 Invictus by Genna was featured on the Founders Future Podcast, where I was invited to share the winding path that carried me from academia into grief and loss care — and how this work became both my compass and my calling. In essence, how Invictus by Genna came to life. 

We talked about building community, supporting grievers, and creating spaces where no one has to navigate loss alone.

We talked about loss, resilience, community, and what it means to sit beside people in their hardest seasons. 

We talked about the challenges grief peer support providers navigate as we build and grow innovative, community-based models of care.

It’s so meaningful to know these conversations are now traveling beyond our local shores. Thank you !

In the newest blog post, I share what that season of my life taught me about su***de prevention, loss support, and how those early experiences shaped the work I do today.

At seventeen, grief changed the course of my life...yet again.

After losing multiple friends to su***de, I helped start a su***de loss support group at my high school — not because I felt ready, but because something in me knew no one should have to carry that kind of pain alone.

I didn’t have the language yet.
I didn’t have robust training.
But I was already learning what I still believe:

✨ Showing up matters
✨ Listening matters
✨ Community saves lives

If you care about supporting grieving people — or if this topic touches your life personally — I hope it feels like a gentle companion.

✨ Something really meaningful happened last month that I can now share.

I recently had the honor of being interviewed on the Founders Future podcast after they reached out about Invictus by Genna - Grief & Loss Services as an innovative small-practice model for peer grief support with real growth potential.

They released the first clip today! 🌟 We talked about building trust-based, relational care. We talked about building a practice rooted in presence, education, and trust — not algorithms — and the story behind my “Dear Griever” messages as a form of support and outreach. My “Dear Griever / Message in a Bottle” notes have quietly become tiny moments of connection for people scrolling through hard days.

Grateful to share this work — and to see peer grief support recognized as something that can be deeply human, supportive, professional, and sustainable.

✨📚💌📝✨ In my newest blog post, I share what a simple child’s drawing can teach us about how kids understand loss — and what we, as adults and helpers, often miss when we’re only listening for language. And it's my drawing... An artifact from my 7-year-old self. 💙

Sometimes grief doesn’t come out in words.
Sometimes it shows up in pencil on paper.

Children grieve differently. Quietly. Symbolically. Creatively.
If we slow down, they show us everything.

If you support grieving kids — or love one or were one — this one’s for you.

💙 Honored to be invited to spend time in community with professionals on behalf of for a training I wrote for university professionals across support, clinical, and incident response roles. 🧑‍🏫

We talked honestly about grief, trauma, and how we show up when loss impacts a campus community. We explored presence over fixing, regulation before processing, and how compassion, clarity, and connection help steady the ripple effects of loss.🧑‍🤝‍🧑

Deep gratitude for the care, curiosity, and commitment in the room. This work matters and so does supporting those who do this work.
