If you've found your way here, chances are you're entering a phase of life marked by change, transitions, and the inevitable losses that remind us just how precious time is. You've checked off the to-do lists, achieved the milestones, yet the feeling of fulfillment remains elusive. That list of dreams you crafted in your younger years might now leave you pondering, "Is this all there is?"

The truth is, achievement doesn't always equate to fulfillment. Many of us have journeyed so far down the path of accomplishments that we've lost sight of ourselves, inching closer to burnout and overwhelm.

Life, as we know, is a sum of choices – some we embrace and others we reflect upon. I too, have navigated the twists and turns, including two divorces. While these experiences might not be the proudest moments in my life, they've taught me the power of choice. I chose to step away from situations that no longer served my highest good. Through these challenges, I found my true love with Joe. But life had more in store. In 2015, Joe was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's, altering the path we had imagined for ourselves. As my role shifted to caregiver, I encountered further heartache – the loss of three dear friends within three years.
