We don’t need to grieve better. We need better ways to grieve.
Modernizing how we navigate loss in private & professional lives
We’ve modernized how we live, communicate. and lead.
After 3 or 5 days of bereavement leave it’s back to business as usual
You’re told “everything happens for a reason” but don’t feel like you understand what happened or why
You’re praised for “being strong” so you don’t ask for help
But how we think about grief is stuck in the past.
Not anymore.
It’s time we close the gap between how we expect people to grieve and how grief actually shows up in our lives
Let’s revolutionize the conversation around loss.

Learn to live differently with loss
Keynote Speaking
As a self-described provocateur, I have never shied away from the difficult or uncomfortable. My keynotes are designed to disrupt the outdated scripts we use in our professional and personal lives, forcing a radical reimagining of what it means to grieve in the modern era. If you’re looking for a polite nod to bereavement, look elsewhere.
If you’re ready to wake-up and reimagine the modern realities of loss, let’s talk.
Beyond Bereavement System
Navigating grief isn’t a soft skill, it’s a human skill.
With the Beyond Bereavement System, we’ll create the policies, tools, and language to help your team support employees through grief with confidence, clarity, and care, making compassion part of how your company works, not just what it says.
Workshops and Training
In Conversation is our flagship program for the high functioning griever - the ones who never pulled over, even when the ride got rough.
Through community, exploration practices and simple ritual we’ll trade surface level coping for real loss integration, and move from fine to thrive.
It’s time to put yourself back in the driver’s seat.
Grieving Tools
We don’t need to grieve better. We need better ways to grieve.
Hi, I’m Sarah
I’m a deep feeler with a knack for truth-telling and a refusal to pretend things are fine when they’re not.
I didn’t set out to become a grief coach (does anyone?).
But when my mom passed away, everything changed. But a year and half later… I hit a breaking point. I couldn’t keep forcing myself into a life that no longer fit who I had become.
So I walked away from a steady career and started asking myself the bigger questions:
Why wasn’t it safe to be a high-achiever and ask for support?
What does it mean to live with loss instead of avoid it?
How do I keep leading, creating, showing up without abandoning myself in the process?
I know what it’s like to want to outrun grief.
My job isn’t to fix you. It’s to walk beside you as you navigate loss with intention and build a life that fits who you’ve become.
