I know the storm of gray divorce because I’ve walked through it, eyes wide open, heart shattered, searching for solid ground. After a 26-year marriage and raising two daughters, everything I thought was certain, wasn’t. My life imploded in a single conversation.

When my husband told me he was leaving, the floor vanished beneath me. I was blindsided, terrified, and forced to make monumental decisions, where to live, how to survive, what I could afford, while drowning in anxiety and grief. I had dedicated my life to raising our daughters and supporting his career, never imagining I’d be starting over at fifty.

And yet, even in that storm, I searched for solid ground. The well-being and emotional regulation tools I had taught for years became my lifeline. Mindfulness, nervous system healing, and evidence-based emotion regulation practices steadied me through the chaos and gave me a way forward. 

I didn’t just survive, I turned devastation into the catalyst for my greatest becoming.

In the years since, I’ve witnessed the unnecessary suffering women endure without these resources. What’s missing is a comprehensive path that helps women move from devastation to thriving in a meaningful, and timely way so that they can begin to flourish in their reimagined lives.

That’s why I created AfterUs.

It is for women like you: high-functioning, emotionally aware, and successful, yet blindsided by betrayal, identity loss, and a life you never saw coming. Women who are quietly falling apart while holding it all together. What you need isn’t just support, but someone who understands how to overcome the emotional chaos, the nervous system crash, the soul-deep unraveling, the unanswered questions. A person who can walk you through it with clarity, compassion, and evidence-based proven tools.

That’s where I come in. I’m a certified executive coach (PCC, ICF), mindfulness instructor (MIEA/Duke), yoga teacher (RYT), and a former university adjunct professor where I taught well-being, emotional regulation, and the brain. I’ve guided hundreds of individuals, leaders and teams through profound transformation. 

And still, this offering is the one closest to my heart.

AfterUs™ is the curated journey I wish I’d had. Equal parts neuroscience and soul work. Strategy and surrender. Healing and reinvention. It’s the work that brings you home to yourself, stronger, wiser, and more you than ever.

If you’re ready to rise, I’m here to walk beside you.
