The Best Unexpected
Whether it’s the death of a loved one, divorce, or the loss of a job,
we all will have moments when life turns on its head.
- Are you absolutely DONE with just surviving, and not thriving in your life?
- Would you do anything to get rid of feelings of overwhelm, self-doubt, loneliness, or grief?
- Does the thought of spending another minute trying to recover from grief, lost relationships, or unhappiness on your own make you feel like tearing your hair out, giving up, or running away?
If you answered yes to any of these, you are not alone…
Whether it’s the death of a loved one, divorce, or the loss of a job, we all will have moments when life turns on its head. Grief is a normal healing process, as many say, but that doesn’t make it any less life altering. It requires mending to understand these events and slowly try to move on from them.
Grief is big and complex. It’s messy and unpredictable. But, you can find a way to heal, and to find hope again
The real issue is that when you experience a loss society gives you a month, maybe two before they start throwing old proverbs and sayings your way. They want you to be stoic, calm, and ‘together,’ through all of your losses.
If you are one of the millions of people who have heard the words ‘get over it,’ and move on from your loss, then I want you to know that grief has no timeline.
As I have said before, it is not because “everything happens for a reason”, because that is too painful a thought to bear.
But, these unexpected moments can provide hope, some truths about our lives, and ourselves.
While grief can seem all consuming, the lessons I learned in this past year have helped me to rise again. It is during the times of our greatest challenges that we finally understand our strength.....
The Best Unexpected
A community of women. A resource for choosing to live free from grief, dispair and overwhelm. A place to find comfort and solace.
The Best Unexpected is here to help you navigate life's unexpected moments.
stop trying to recover from grief and loss alone.....
I understand that some days are gonna be better than others.
That is why I created this community. It’s a place to find a way to thrive, even amidst the tornado of life.
I’ve been exactly where you are, and I’m here for you.
I’ve been right in your shoes. That’s how I know why you might feel stuck, like a hamster running the wheel right now:
- You don't have the appropriate support on your healing journey
- You beat yourself up when people tell you that you should “just be positive”
- You aren’t sure how you can get to the other side of grief so you keep spinning your wheels and getting stuck in your own head
- You can’t get a handle on your time, energy, or well-being
During times of grief, there are things you can do to honor your pain, and give yourself grace.
Grief can come in many forms and it affects every person differently. Whether it is divorce, a loss of a job or relationship... we forget to honor the fact that grief is something we experience all throughout our lives. Yet, grief can actually provide the seeds for happiness, if you know how to nurture them.
Our community has been built on a single focus: you
This community will help you learn to:
- Deal with losses in your job or relationship
- Deal with grief or unexpected events in your life
- Deal with a negative mindset, unproductive thoughts or energy,
We offer multiple approaches with an entire vault of unique tools to help you find healing, resilience and support. You’ll always have more than one way to cope.
We are all busy, frazzled, and get separated by life. This community is a safe space for anyone who needs a connection, or wants to find the tools that makes them feel less alone. I have learned during the hardest times in my life that there is always someone else out there who will understand exactly what you are going through. I’ve been through the cookie-cutter programs that had massive promises with small rewards. Those programs don’t account for who you truly are on a soul level.
here’s what I know about you....
- You’re human, you’re open, you're compassionate and you’re self aware
- Some days you won’t be able to do the yoga. Some days you’ll netflix binge and eat dairy (and that’s ok, a dairy binge is sometimes non-negotiable!)
- You’re strong enough to accept that low moments happen but you have a desire, a will, and a drive to move forward and heal
If you are truly committed to moving through your feelings of grief, depression, or self-doubt once and for all, this is what our community is about...
Not that long ago I was in the same position as you are in now....
The thought of spending another minute trying to recover from the daily overwhelm of life, grief, lost relationships, and unhappiness made me feel like tearing my hair out, giving up, and running away....
In fact, I was going through emotions much like you are. I was absolutely DONE with just surviving, and not thriving in my life. I wanted to get rid of the feelings of self-doubt, loneliness, and grief.
You see, I once was a professional makeup artist for over 18 years... I have glowing reviews from famous Hollywood actors to prove it (and some pretty crazy stories to go with that!). I originally went to school to be a writer, but my “day job” on the movie sets took off. I left college for a full-time career and started one of the first beauty blogs on the side. It was wildly successful. In fact, I had over 60,000 visitors a month and a social media following of over 550,000 on Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest.
But then life knocked me to my feet.....
Suddenly, in 2011 my best friend of 27 years was diagnosed with terminal cancer and then a month later, I tragically lost my daughter at 20 weeks; everything looked different. "Success" meant nothing when catastrophe hit. I was simply a wife, friend, and makeup artist struggling to get from one day to the next. My life became a tornado of loss, fertility struggles and job frustrations. I felt hopeless, but I had to stay strong even when I wanted to crawl into bed and hide. There were days when the bravest thing I could do was simply get out of bed.....
a new path to recovery......
Everything I had been through led me to stop what I was doing and re-evaluate. I was frazzled and overwhelmed by all the terrible events I’d been through. My biggest goal was to find a way to not let life dismantle me in my toughest moments.
Out of fear that I would continue to burden my family and friends, I turned to online communities to seek comfort and guidance... with the promises that I would magically heal; or had huge guarantees that yielded very little reward. Those online communities and programs didn't account for who I truly was on a soul level.
During my toughest times, I learned to go easy on myself. Some days my idea of success meant all I could do is brush my teeth. During that time, I realized I needed more than superficial things to feel good. That led me on a path that included attempting yoga, meditation, journaling, and searching the entire self-help aisle at the bookstore. In that time I had to re-learn how to move through the world......how to breathe, how to care about life beyond the present moment, and how to laugh again.
how it all began...
I felt overwhelmed with the chaos and unexpected issues that came up everyday. Whether it was from work, life, marriage, or loss. Grief can hit you in a multitude of ways.
You hear people say frustrating platitudes like:
- “Just be positive”
- “Everything happens for a reason”
- "Get over it"
- "The pain will go away"
What I found is that most self help sites or systems only answer one need, and they make it seem like it is an “all or nothing” approach. Life is not like that.
Some days you can meditate, some days you need to sit on the couch with mac n’cheese and watch a funny movie. There is no miracle cure. It is a daily process.
I created the ultimate solution for myself by using self-development tools such as goal setting, journaling prompts, meditative coloring, and leaning into a community of like-minded people.
I want you to have this too ... because - and this is the big “hidden” SECRET - it’s critical to have easy-to-find and apply multiple approaches that work specifically for YOU.
