I want women to know that losing the future you planned can become the beginning of growing into yourself.

I want nurses to know that even though nursing school didn’t teach you much about death and dying, and your on-the-job training around death and dying may be woefully inadequate, and your personal experiences make death and dying at work even harder, you can learn, grow, manage, and thrive in any environment. Especially in the uncomfortable moments. Because you show up...for your patient and for yourself...you can stay present when the room is uncomfortable.

I am a contributing author in a curative, collaborative, authoritative book experience designed to amplify women's stories, voices, leadership, and impact.

That is iconic.
