I'm not totally sure what to expect, so I'm making space for whatever it may look like. I'm trying to prepare for the heavier ones that are coming (one right at the beginning of September and one at the end). You may see me being more intentional about focusing on one thing at a time, working extra closely with a priority list even when it may not seem necessary, wearing my noise-cancelling headphones a lot when in the office, or sending emails/doing a bit of work after bedtime."

Ep. 001: Our Story

Infant loss, loss of a parent, miscarriage // Bits and pieces of my story will be woven into each future episode of D+R+C, but today I'm intentionally diving in. Our stories are the foundation of our experiences; the hard parts, easy parts, mundane parts all make up who we are right now. And who you are right now matters.
