Let's talk... like actually talk!
By speaking face-to-face about life events like loss, divorce, financial hardship — the things that turn our lives upside down — we can actually stumble upon strength in our vulnerabilities. As a widow of six years, I’m passionate about starting this conversation to help anyone who has suffered loss, heartbreak, or unexpected change to navigate the emotional challenges that life throws our way.
"What I'm so struck by about [Sue] is [her] commitment to finding [her] power in all these different situations."
This is a moving and rich episode that is not to be missed, particularly if you have lost someone dear, but also if you’re someone like me, who thinks deeply about the existential quandaries of this human life and has questions about how to process it all.

It's not all grief & loss
V2X Women's Summit,
Kuwait, November 2022
Thanks to my experience with grief, I know the power of embracing one’s innate strength. Sometimes we’ve forgotten it and need to be reminded. Sometimes we have never even been told we have it.
So at this conference, I didn’t just talk about “why it’s so important to have strength and power and purpose…” Rather, I turned the mirror around on each woman in attendance, so she couldn’t help but see it in herself.
Ready to talk? Me, too!
