I didn’t set out to build a course. I built it because I hit rock bottom—and I needed a way to climb out.

In July 2018, I lost my son Jeremy to suicide. I was a nurse. A mom. A leader. The one who had it all together.

But nothing prepared me for that kind of pain. Nothing prepares you for your entire world shattering in an instant.

There wasn’t a blueprint for what came next. So I created one.

Step by shaky step, I built a framework to help me breathe, move, and lead again.

Not perfectly. Not pain-free. But forward. That framework became this course.

I call it P.O.L.E.S.—because, like trekking poles, it helps you steady your steps when the ground is uneven

and the climb feels impossible. This course isn’t therapy. It’s not a pep talk. It’s a lifeline for people who are

done pretending they’re okay—and are ready to start moving again, even if they’re still carrying the pain.

It’s for the ones who are still standing, even when it would’ve been easier to stay down.

If that’s you, this is for you.

Let’s take the next step—together.
