YOU’RE NOT BROKEN. YOU’RE BECOMING.

Grief reshapes everything. What remains isn’t ruin—
it’s revelation.

When what used to define you starts to shift—work, relationships, identity—it isn’t the end of your story. It’s the beginning of living in your own voice, rooted in honesty, courage, and the kind of meaning that only comes from change.

For anyone standing inside change or loss — let’s make it mean something.

GUTSY GRIEF

PRE-ORDER COMING DECEMBER 2025

Gutsy Grief is the story of how loss became my most honest teacher and how I learned to live with grief instead of around it.

After my dad’s death, I realized grief wasn’t something to get through but something that reshapes everything you are. The book traces that becoming: the conversations, contradictions, and small acts of courage. When the world expected me to “move on,” I started asking what would happen if I moved with it.

The answer became a decade-long exploration of identity, meaning, and what it really means to come back to yourself.
