🎙️ Behind the Scenes of a Grief Specialist Reclaiming Her Leadership Voice After Loss:
Follow my creative, spiritual journey back to leadership after profound loss — and discover how to reclaim yours too.
🌊 Are you quietly carrying the weight of loss while trying to keep life going? Or supporting someone who is?
Struggling to sleep, eat, or concentrate the way you used to — not just from the sadness of loss, but from the deep exhaustion of always being the strong one?
Wondering where your voice went — your clarity, confidence, or sense of self? Maybe it’s hard to speak up. Maybe you no longer know what you want to say.
Do you find yourself disconnected from who you used to be — your creativity, your calm, your confidence?
A parent or manager / team leader trying to hold it all together in front of others and expected to keep leading — at work, at home, at your community organisation — while your own heart is unravelling
A manager or team leader struggling to understand the needs of someone on your team who is grieving in order to retain them on the team, or unsure how to motivate them when they are underperforming?
If this sounds like you, I want you to know that this space was created with you in mind.
This is not just a newsletter.
It’s a shared journey to lift us all up after any kind of loss so we can move forward again primed to succeed.
🦋 I’ve walked this path many times — this time I’m using all my grief education, creativity, practical tools and exercises, and spiritual wisdom to find my way back and bring a guiding light for you too.
This publication is the behind-the-scenes journey of how I’m reclaiming my voice — as a public speaker, speaking coach, trainer in community management, and grief specialist — after the death of my mother.
Through it, I’ll guide you in rediscovering your own voice, your identity, leadership style, and peace of mind and empower you to reclaim your power, your purpose and your voice.
If you're a public speaker, community leader, caregiver, coach, religious leader, or the emotional anchor in your family, this publication is for you.
It is a haven for those holding space for others — while quietly grieving their own losses or supporting those who are.

💛 What I Value (And How It Supports You)
The human voice — written, spoken, or sound-based (breathwork, humming, or singing) as a powerful tool for leadership and healing, even if you're doing it alone, quietly, at home.
Connection and creativity — not just as self-care, but as soul care. These help you feel engaged with life again, not just function.
Feelings and reflection — because authentic leadership starts with honest inner work
These values are the pillars of everything I share here. They’re what will rebuild your inner foundation — so you can show up more fully in your family and public life.
❌ What I Don’t Stand For - — And What I Won’t Do
I don’t stand for creating division – not in families, in faith communities, nor in corporate spaces
I won’t ignore or bypass your pain – or tell you to - with platitudes, such as “move on” or “stay strong” after a loss
I won’t give you shallow reflections or advice or quick fixes without depth
I won’t push toxic positivity, spiritual pressure, or cookie-cutter solutions
✅ What I Do Stand For – And How It Can Transform You Into a Relational Leader - ask Chatty to change the subtitle
Inclusion of Diversity — being unique, different and inclusive without judgement
Helping you reclaim your voice — especially when grief has left you silent, unsure, or numb — so you can lead from your core being, not just your role.
Self-Agency - empowering you to use your voice to lead yourself and others— especially when grief has silenced it
Self-leadership and Team Leadership – managing yourself and others responsibly and respectfully to enable personal and collective growth
Creatively Supporting your journey to engage fully with life — so you can re-engage with your purpose, talents, relationships, and even your sorrow
Honouring all stories and all stages of healing because grief from loss has wisdom to impart to us
A life-affirming spirituality — one that holds grief from non-death loss with tenderness and also recognizes that love, meaning, and connection endure beyond death.
