We talk so much about death.
What about life?

I have spent the last 15 years working with people through grief, trauma, and life's hardest transitions — helping them find their way back to themselves after loss. And somewhere in all of that, I forgot about my own life.

Then came the year that changed everything. A TBI. A body that stopped working the way it used to. A near-death experience in 2024 that cracked me wide open — my second in this lifetime, the first being when I was just 13 years old.

Facing your own mortality has a way of making things very clear. I had watched so many people leave this world carrying the weight of unlived dreams — adventures they never took, moments they assumed they'd always have more time for. I didn't want that to be my story. And I don't want it to be yours.

Behind this movement is a real person. A mom of two boys who lost her own mother at six years old, and her brother to violence. A military veteran. Someone who has carried grief, trauma, and fear in more forms than most people know — and who spent years too scared to try anything new, until life itself forced her hand. A dog lover, an artist, and an author. And someone who — after everything — finally decided to stop waiting and start truly living.

Live The Duck Out Of Life is for me as much as it is for you. This is us choosing to show up for our own lives — together.
