Grief doesn't follow a straight line. It spirals. When intense emotions resurface months or even years later, when you circle back to feelings you thought you'd already processed, it's not a sign of failure or regression.

The Healing Grief Spiral is a framework I created that reflects how grief actually works: as an upward expansion cycle where we revisit three core steps over and over, each time from a place of greater strength and awareness.

Join me today to discover how to work with your grief instead of against it. This isn't about moving on or reaching some final stage of acceptance. It's about building the skills to be a real human experiencing grief while creating a life you want to live.

The to-do lists multiply, the emotions intensify, and suddenly you're living in what feels like a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. But here's what I've learned: You don't have to change everything about your situation to make it feel more manageable.

Join me this week to learn why your brain might be stuck in "everything is hard" mode, the two key shifts that can help you feel more capable, and practical ways to support yourself when life feels overwhelming.
