Beyond the Widow

My lived experience through the death of my husband and life on my own on 35 acres in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland has enabled me to gain resilience, courage, bravery, and independence. I have learnt how to love myself first and become my own best friend. My counsellors, mentors and coaches over the last 4 years have taught me many tools and processes to manage through the messiness of my grief. I have built a brand that is through connecting with those that have lost someone or something, and show care, nurturing, honesty, authenticity, confidentiality and love when I work with my clients.
My experience of my own loss, and then the many layers of grief that I have been exposed to means I can relate or validate another person's loss. I resigned from my corporate executive job 3 months after Robert's death, and since then have built 2 businesses, Beyond the Widow and Coolabine Retreat, as well as remarrying and becoming a stepmum. A role that I never got to be during my first marriage. These new titles and managing my triggers with my new family have allowed me to inspire my stepdaughters and step grandchildren and they fulfil me beyond what I ever imagined. I continue to be coached, I am training in two new modalities this year and crewing and running my own retreats. To say my life is full of happiness, love and abundance is an understatement. I love this chapter of my life and feel grateful for the time I had with my late husband, but also thankful for the learnings and the rebirthing of my new self after his death.
The woman I am today, wouldn't have been possible if I hadn't gone through my loss and I am passionate about sharing my story, inspiring and motivating others and showing people that they can live an amazing life beyond their grief!

I will require a microphone if in an open large area, or happy to talk without one if the space is intimate. I require space to put my banner up and a table to display my books and offerings. A seat if it is a Q&A session.
