There’s something about cold, gloomy days, especially when you’re feeling a little under the weather, that makes you miss the people who are no longer here just a little more.

Maybe it’s the quiet. Maybe it’s the way the world slows down. Or maybe it’s because on days like these, you just want the comfort of someone who once made everything feel a little better.

Today, I’m missing my mom. A little extra.

Grief has a funny way of sneaking into the simplest moments.

So today, I’m finding comfort in the little things. Some music, a coloring book, and a little time to just be.

There’s something beautiful about putting color onto a blank page while listening to songs that bring back memories. Coloring gives our busy minds somewhere gentle to land. The colors can spark creativity, awaken old memories, and sometimes remind us of the beautiful pieces of life we shared with those we’ve lost.

And music? Music has a way of taking us somewhere time cannot. Back to a kitchen, a car ride, a laugh, a voice, or a moment we didn’t realize we’d someday give anything to have again.

Sometimes healing isn’t about digging deep or trying to make sense of our grief. Sometimes it’s about picking up a crayon, playing an old familiar song, and allowing ourselves to remember something beautiful.

Not every moment of grief has to be heavy. Sometimes we can color it with love.

P.S. Missing my mom today. I sure wish I could have just one more cold, lazy day with her. ❤️

Grief doesn’t just live in our hearts. Sometimes, we feel it in our bodies, too.

If you’re local and have been curious about the massage techniques I traveled to India to learn, I’d love to share this experience with you.

Grief isn’t always about losing someone to death. Sometimes it’s the loss of a relationship, the life you thought you’d have, a version of yourself, or years spent simply trying to survive.

Our bodies can carry the physical effects of those emotions. The tight shoulders, the clenched jaw, the heaviness in our chest, the exhaustion we can’t quite explain.

Through the emotional and trauma-informed bodywork I studied in India, we create space to reconnect the mind and body through intentional touch, breath, and awareness.

This isn’t about forcing emotions out or trying to “fix” your grief. It’s about giving your nervous system an opportunity to soften, allowing yourself to feel what you’ve been holding, and gently working through some of that stagnant grief.

You don’t have to have the right words. You don’t have to tell your story. And you certainly don’t have to have it all together.

Sometimes healing begins when we finally give ourselves permission to slow down and feel.

If you’re local and this speaks to something you’ve been carrying, message me. I’d be honored to share this experience with you.

Because grief deserves more than being pushed down and carried alone.

It’s cooling down outside..no one knows how long it will last before more heat or the new season. Cooler temps are a time to take walks, breathe in the fresh air, and breathe out what we may be holding onto.

For me this rime of year is a reminder that holidays are approaching and maybe what helped last year or didn’t…for some it could be a new process. Grievers have rights…like doing things different or not doing at all. Whatever feels the best for you. Honor your own body mind and space ❤️❤️

I love seeing people that knew my family. I usually cry if it’s someone who knew them like I did. But it feels for a brief second like that feeling of them standing right there and for that second it doesn’t feel lonely.

I hope you always tell stories of them.

Sometimes grief is too hard to put into words.

Paint Your Grief is a guided PDF that helps you express what your grief feels like through painting—no artistic ability needed.

You’ll create one painting each month for 6 months, take a photo of each one, and watch how your colors, emotions, and grief change over time.

It’s not about making something beautiful. It’s about giving your grief somewhere to go!

I’ve been working on something that is really close to my heart. ❤️

Most of you know grief isn’t something I only learned about through a certification. I’ve lived it. A lot of it.

Losing my brother, my mom exactly one year later, and then experiencing more loss after that changed me in ways I’m still learning about.

Eventually, all of that led me to become a Certified Holistic Grief Coach.

And one thing I know for sure?

Grief is fu***ng messy.

It isn’t always inspirational. Sometimes you’re sad. Sometimes you’re pi**ed off. Sometimes you’re numb. Sometimes you’re laughing and then wondering if you’re allowed to laugh. Sometimes someone says “everything happens for a reason” and you want to scream. 😂

So I made something for those people.

Grief Gets to Be Messy is a 15-page digital workbook that talks about the parts of grief we don’t always say out loud—anger, guilt, the endless what-ifs, your changing relationships, how grief shows up in your body, missing them on completely ordinary days, and just trying to figure out who the hell you are after loss.

And just so we’re clear… I did not tame this down. 😂❤️

There are some bad words. There’s uncomfortable honesty. There are no cheesy silver linings or instructions for “moving on.”

Just a place to be a human who misses someone.

It’s $24 and you can download it here:

I’m really proud of this one.
