Writer, speaker, counselor, grandma, and firm believer that some of the best healing happens around a kitchen table.
I live in a small Ohio town with my husband, and our grandson, and my life is full of books, ballgames, faith, second chances, and a lot of tea. Around here, we believe in telling the truth about hard things, laughing whenever we can, and holding onto hope even when life feels like ashes.
I help people find hope in real life — not the polished, filtered version, but the kind that shows up in grief, blended families, trauma, faith questions, and starting over.

We don’t ignore the hard things — we just don’t stay stuck there.
