Spent the day onsite supporting a company in their grief during the immediate aftermath of losing a coworker.

In the midst of shock and grief, I did my best to offer a steady, compassionate presence, helping leaders think through next steps with care, supporting employees with their deep sadness, and keeping the family at the center of our conversation.

Grateful to be trusted to walk alongside organizations during such tender moments. 💛

What an absolute honor and privilege to watch be recognized and selected as the 2025 Greater Phoenix Chamber Athena Young Professional yesterday!! She deeply deserves this honor and I’m so proud to have worked alongside her as a social worker. The speech she delivered was unforgettable … take the time to watch it to gather inspiration and remember how to come together in community. We are absolutely lucky to call you a colleague and advocate.

It’s been a whirlwind few days! After being honored as a recipient at the Arizona Capitol Times Women Achievers of Arizona luncheon, I left immediately to speak at the annual Dignity Memorial Funeral Directors Summit on Compassion Fatigue in Death Care Work.

Because their work is truly 24/7, they asked me to return today to teach the rest of their staff — an incredible honor and testament to their dedication to caring for both the families they serve and their own teams.

The summit was hosted at the Arizona Donor Network, and being surrounded by those who serve bereaved families every single day was deeply moving. I’m grateful to help support the people who sustain compassion in our communities, even in the most difficult moments.

✨ Honored and Grateful ✨

Today I attended the Arizona Capitol Times Women Achievers of Arizona 2025 luncheon, where I was selected as a recipient in the Healthcare category. 💜

It was such an honor to be among so many inspiring women across Arizona who are creating meaningful change in their communities. To be recognized alongside them is both humbling and deeply motivating.

This recognition represents a continued commitment to grief awareness and expanding access to grief affirming therapy for grieving families. I’m grateful to do this work — and to stand among women making Arizona a more compassionate and connected place.

Grateful to have shared space at the 4th Trimester Arizona Summit, teaching about compassion fatigue and the importance of caring for ourselves while we care for others.

Thank you to the organizers for inviting me to be part of such a thoughtful and heart-centered event. 💛

Today marks the final day of the very first cohort of Grief Affirming Practice® training.

What an incredible four days it has been — full of depth, reflection, and transformation. Together, we explored what it means to truly accompany grief, to honor the full humanity of those we serve, and to remember our own beloved dead along the way.

This first cohort showed up with courage, curiosity, and compassion. Watching therapy providers become more grounded, attuned, and grief-affirming in their practice has been profoundly moving.

Here’s to continuing to build a community of grief-informed healers — those who can hold both sorrow and beauty, both loss and love.
