Widow to Wellness: A Journey of Healing, Hope & Inner Strength
I never imagined I’d be writing a chapter titled “Widow to Wellness.” But here I am years after losing my soulmate writing from a place of strength, reflection, and deep healing.
Sixteen years ago, my world changed overnight. Jesse, my husband of 26 years and the love of my life, passed away suddenly. His birthday was the very next day. We had built a life, raised our children, shared inside jokes, and moved through each season in sync. Losing him didn’t just break my heart it rattled the very foundation of who I was.
Grief hit hard. The kind that knocks the wind out of you.
And yet here’s the truth no one talks about enough healing isn’t linear. Some days I felt like I was growing. Other days, just surviving. But over time, one breath at a time, I began to shift.
I realized I couldn’t pour from an empty cup.
I had to take care of myself not just for me, but for my kids, my grandkids, and the life I still had to live. That’s when I began exploring natural wellness, nutrition, emotional healing, and the gut-brain connection.
What started as personal survival turned into a purpose: helping other women heal from the inside out.
Today, as a Certified Gut-Brain-Skin Wellness Coach, I support women...
navigating autoimmune issues, emotional stress, skin flare-ups, and burnout. Because I’ve walked through the fire. And now, I help light the path for others.
This blog is a space for the real talk about grief, grit, and grace.
For the woman holding both pain and possibility. For the one rebuilding one steady step at a time.
You’re not alone. And you’re not behind. You’re just building something real.
If this spoke to you…
And you're navigating your own version of grief, burnout, or autoimmune struggle, I’d be honored to walk beside you.
