In this episode:
• The story of her child and the grief that followed
• The beginnings of her nonprofit work
• What it’s like to show up for grieving families
• The emotional labor of holding space for others
• How community and connection help sustain healing

Part Two continues the conversation and explores what comes next after years of serving others.
