“I struggled with how I wanted to spend the 1 year anniversary of my Mom’s death but ultimately decided on the Grand Canyon. There is magic for me in the Canyon and so my wife and I planned our trip. Throughout this year I was discovering all the new ways I could connect with my Mom and, as strange as it sounds, I have felt even closer to her since her death. Much of that closeness I have experienced during my time running and hiking in nature. That realization is both comforting and painful.”

“I don’t think I’ve ever coached anyone who shows up as consistently open-heartedly as you do, so that’s why we’re here today.  I believe that’s the magic that has allowed you to make so much progress.”
