Grief changes us, but it doesn't have to stop us from moving forward.

In this deeply moving and eye-opening episode of Write Your Outcome, I sit down with grief counselor and founder of the Center for Informed Grief, Kelly Daugherty, for a conversation that blends science, spirituality, and real-life experience in the most human way.

Kelly's journey into grief work began as a teenager after losing her mother to breast cancer, and that lived experience has shaped a career dedicated to helping others navigate loss with compassion, resilience, and connection.

We unpack what grief actually looks like (spoiler: it's not the stages), why resilience isn't about "moving on," and how we can continue meaningful bonds with those we've lost.

This week, I am so excited to sit down with chef Aki Goldberg for a conversation that goes far beyond what's on the plate.

After years in a different career, Aki chose to honor her lifelong love of food, starting with something simple yet powerful: soup. In this episode, she shares why small steps matter, how putting yourself into your work changes everything, and what it means to create with integrity while serving others.

If you've ever felt the nudge to begin again, to create something meaningful, or to write a new outcome rooted in love and service, this conversation will stay with you long after it ends.

In this powerful live coaching session, I am joined by my good friend Liz Benuscak for an honest, heartfelt conversation about transition, identity, and reclaiming personal power.

Liz is navigating multiple life shifts at once—divorce, caring for an aging parent, career crossroads, and the quiet realization that she's been pouring into everyone else while leaving herself last. Together, we slow things down to tune into what's really happening beneath the surface.

This episode walks listeners through the Write Your Outcome process in real time, connecting head, heart, and gut, naming emotions without judgment, and creating a clear vision rooted in how you want to feel, not just what you want to achieve.
