Today is my 43rd birthday.
Honestly, the last six weeks have been one of the most intense seasons of my life.
Losing Chiba hit me far harder than I was prepared for. For over 12 years, he was my constant companion, my grounding presence, my daily source of loyalty, love, connection, and comfort. Some people will understand that deeply, others may not, and that’s okay. He was one of the most significant relationships of my life, and learning how to move through life without him has changed me profoundly.
At the same time, this season has also reminded me of something important.
Love matters.
Connection matters.
Health matters.
Community matters.
Purpose matters.
And even through grief, illness, uncertainty, financial pressure, and major life transition, I still genuinely believe life is getting better.
Not because life avoids pain, but because pain has a way of clarifying what is real.
This year feels different. Gentler in some ways. More honest. More grounded. Less about proving things, more about building a life that is deeply aligned, meaningful, healthy, loving, and sustainable.
As much as I love Texas, I’m also allowing myself to stay open to whatever the next chapter and next opportunity may be, wherever life leads. I’m listening more carefully now to what truly creates health, peace, connection, and vitality for both myself and my animals.
And after a lot of reflection, I’ve also realized something very clearly:
I am simply a better human being with a dog in my life.
Chiba can never be replaced, but I have started the process of exploring fostering and eventually adopting the right dog for Lars and I when the timing and alignment are right.
Professionally, I’m continuing to dedicate myself to helping people create healthier and more aligned lives, relationships, teams, and businesses.
That includes:
1:1 health and life coaching
relationship and couples support
small business consulting
team communication, culture, and structure work
and continuing to create herbal medicines through Wild Child Medicines
If you know aligned individuals, couples, leaders, creators, or growing businesses who feel stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or out of alignment and are looking for support, clarity, structure, healing, or transformation, referrals and connections are deeply appreciated.
And honestly, one of the greatest gifts you could give me right now is simple:
see me thriving.
Use your prayer, your imagination, your heart, your vision, and simply hold the image of me healthy, happy, connected, purposeful, abundant, loving, and fully alive in whatever way feels most true to you.
Create a scene in your imagination so real you can feel my overflowing joy, success and happiness, and feel how good it would make you feel, knowing what you imagine is my life and all I can do is embody, enjoy and reflect it back to you.
I’ll do the same for you. I always do as often as you remind and invite me.
Thank you to everyone who has shown up for me through this chapter of life. Your kindness, encouragement, prayers, conversations, opportunities, and presence have mattered more than you probably realize.
43 feels less like an ending and more like the beginning of a deeper chapter.
Still here.
Still learning.
Still loving.
Still building.
And still living in faith that the best is yet to come.
