The Mourning Manager (TM)
Sep 13, 2025

A little over a year ago, I was laughing with my mom on the phone at 8 AM.

Four hours later, she was unexpectedly gone.

▶️ The next morning, my teams still needed leadership.
▶️ My grieving father and son still needed support.
▶️ Business had to be handled.
▶️ And the truth hit me hard...leadership doesn’t pause for loss.

As a leader, I realized there were no real resources for those of us who had to show up for others while holding our own heartbreak...whether that’s at home or at work. So I am building what I couldn’t find.

🖤 I launched the The Mourning Manager (TM) a newsletter and movement for leaders navigating life’s hardest seasons. Whether you’re leading a company, a team, or a family, it’s a space to:

💼 Lead powerfully
💜 Grieve with grace
🌱 Grow through it all

This launch falls a few weeks after my birthday... a time that holds both joy and ache. But it also feels like the right time to turn my pain into purpose.

📩 I invite you to subscribe today. And, if this resonates with you or someone you love, I’d be honored if you subscribed or shared it.

This is for you Mom. 🖤
