I came to this work the hard way.

After the death of my daughter, the strategies that had built my career stopped working. I had spent years leading large operations — eventually running a $170M business — and I thought I understood pressure. Grief was different. It did not yield to grit. It did not move on my timeline. For a long stretch, I was just trying not to drown.

What pulled me back was an unlikely tool. Tony Robbins’ RPM framework — Result, Purpose, Massive Action — had been a business tool for me for years. After my loss, I started using it on the only thing left that mattered: getting up tomorrow. Slowly, it gave me a way to put my hands on a day again. Years later, I was featured in Tony Robbins’ official RPM transformation campaign telling that story.

Out of that work, I built the Living Legacy Path Method — a cyclical framework for healing after loss that does not ask the grieving to “move on” or “reach acceptance.” Instead, it gives them a path they can walk again as grief changes shape: through year one, through the first anniversary, through the day they laugh and feel guilty for laughing, through the year they finally rebuild.

Today, I coach bereaved parents one-to-one. I write every week — more than 100 blog posts so far on grief, healing, identity, and the long, slow work of building a life around an unfillable absence. I run marathons. I still lead at the day job. I still miss my daughter every morning.

I am not an expert because I read the books. I am a practitioner because I lived it — and am still living it. If you are walking this, you are not doing it wrong. You are doing the hardest thing a human can do. There is a path. I will walk it with you.
