Stride with Grace

A little about the heart behind this work:

I've lived in what I call the "betweening". A lovely insight, my great friend Dr. Greg Finch opened my eyes to on a healing journey in 2024.  I had lost my mom (who had lived with us for about 8 years), I was navigating menopause, raising two very active boys, caring for my husband, a disabled service veteran, and watching my father grieve 62 years of love, all at once. Looking back at myself with grace, I hit a crossroads that nearly ended my life because I was so unhealthy (mentally and physically). Complex, compounded change is real.

What saved me was my connection to others and then accepting myself.  Learning to pay attention to the navigation structures that I could equip myself with, and saying one simple yes to myself, changed the game of life.

​

That yes became Stride with Grace. My work specifically for military spouses, single moms, and caregivers who are holding everything together while quietly coming undone. Although our journey is our own, we often find common ground in the emotions of our stories that build a place of understanding and relationships. I've built a constellation of resources through being vulnerable, not hiding behind my shame/guilt, and finding resilience to keep me alive. 

​

My purpose has shifted with my story, and I've stopped apologizing for that. The unraveling was the work. I'm not where I started, and I still have more to give. Why? Healing people, heal people. It is actually what makes work, work. 

​

Who are you now? What energizes you? What needs to be released to inform your crossroads? 

Those questions changed my life. If you're in the middle of your own betweening, I'd love to walk alongside you.

I'd love to connect.
