I lost a close friend and business partner in an unexpected, tragic, and very public way. One moment she was here — laughing, making plans — and the next, she was gone.

Notes on Being Human is my newsletter — an honest look at what it means to live, grow, and heal in real time. I write about the chapters that shape us: empty nesting, loss, love, breakups and divorce, co-parenting, reinvention, and the quiet moments of joy that remind us we’re still becoming.
It’s not advice — it’s a conversation. A reminder that being human isn’t about getting it “right,” it’s about being real. Each note is written with the hope that you’ll see a bit of yourself in it — and feel a little less alone, a little more hopeful, and a lot more alive.
