Some experiences divide our lives into before and after.

Most of us can identify with the world before COVID and the world after it. It was a collective threshold, experienced differently by each of us, but universally recognizable all the same.

Other thresholds are far more personal.

The death of someone you love.

A marriage ending.

A devastating betrayal.

A diagnosis.

Losing a career that once defined you.

The quiet realization that the life you imagined is no longer the life you’re living.

These thresholds ask something very different of us.

The world keeps moving.

People still go to work.

Children still need to be picked up from school.

Groceries still need to be bought.

Bills still need to be paid.

Friends continue making plans.

The sun still rises every morning…

…while your own world feels as though it has come to a complete standstill.

There is a profound loneliness in trying to navigate a life that no longer feels familiar while everyone around you continues living theirs as though nothing has changed.

It’s as though you were halted to a standstill, isolated on the outside of a world that never stopped moving, while for you, everything you recognized as safe and familiar suddenly vanished.

I know this place because I’ve lived here.

I’ve stood at the edge of devastating loss, including the suicide of my brother and the deaths of other beloved family and friends.

I’ve walked through profound betrayal and watched carefully constructed futures disappear overnight, both my own and those of people I love.

I’ve stood on the precipice of losing a marriage that has shaped my entire adult life.

I’ve questioned my purpose, watched my beliefs unravel, and experienced seasons of awakening that left even those closest to me wondering if I’d lost myself.

Like many who find themselves at unexpected thresholds, I didn’t simply search for answers.

I walked through the fire to discover them.

And I know I will never be the same woman I was before.

Those experiences forever changed the course of my life.

Today, they shape the way I walk alongside others as they discover the meaning waiting on the other side of their own thresholds.

Of course your world feels different. Something profound and transformative has happened.

That doesn’t mean the journey to claim this for your life will be easily traveled.

I’m here to help you walk the bridge between what was — and what wants to emerge next.
