If some part of you is ready for something gentler, clearer, and more supportive than "just push through" — you're in the right place. The EMBRACE Model is a practical, compassionate path for navigating real life: your beautiful hills and your hard valleys. This grief support workbook and personal growth model offers real tools for emotional resilience and life transitions support.
Whether you're working through grief, anxiety, self-doubt, relationship stress, or simply feeling stuck — this therapeutic workbook meets you exactly where you are. Progress, not perfection. One honest step at a time.
Grounded in CBT, ACT, mindfulness, and positive psychology
Born from real pain, real growth, and real life
Designed for individuals, groups, coaches, and therapists
Before becoming a certified grief and life coach, I spent years working at the Indiana Department of Correction and retired as the Facility Director of Addiction Recovery Services at Indiana Women's Prison. When I lost my mother to dementia, I needed something simpler and steadier for my own healing — so I built the EMBRACE Model for myself. Over time, I began quietly using it with clients and in group settings, and the results surprised even me.

The EMBRACE Model gave me a framework that made sense of my chaos. I didn't need to be fixed — I needed to be understood.
Most workbooks feel like homework. This one feels like a conversation. I've returned to it three times and found something new each time.
