Hi! I'm Trudi!

I am a Life Coach whose specialty is in grief. 

A little bit about my journey

By the time I was in the early 30’s, my last immediate family member died. There I was single, burying my last family member while my peers were focused on growing their own families.

My life was forever changed. Not only once, but three times over three decades.

My brother died in a tragic accident shortly before my teens. My father suddenly when I was in my mid-20’s. And my mom when I was in my early 30’s. 

Through this I had to figure out a lot of things on my own. Most did their best, but constantly tried to fix me rather than allowed me the dignity of experience my compounded loss.

My peers did not understand me and most of my parents’ peers could not comprehend the gravity of my loss either.   

Trust me it ends up working out as it has taught me this beautiful skill of being incredibly comfortable in the uncomfortable. What this means for you is that I can handle holding space for you to process and move you forward on your journey.

It is my greatest joy to witness you so that you CAN reach your highest potential!

My focus is helping you get clear on the answer to the question,
'what do I do now?'.

Life is going along and then something happens that alters your life as you know it! Whether you lost your job, an important relationship ended (romantic or another cherished relationship), or someone you loved died, your identity has been shifted.

Adventure After is here to support you through all your thoughts, feelings and emotions. Living in a highly informational world, we forget that we are human beings that need to process things. We are not AI machines, so it takes us a bit little longer to accept and process what happened. 

Asking for help feels foreign to us as we’ve been conditioned to think we can handle it on our own! Also, when we are experiencing highly charged emotions, other get uncomfortable in being present to our pain. They do the best the can, but they are trying to fix you rather than bearing witness to your experience for their benefit.

And this is my zone of genius. Having gone through so much loss in my life, I am able to help hold space for the hurt and pain you are experiencing. I am very comfortable in sitting with others in the uncomfortable spaces. No topic is off limits. Your deepest darkest secrets are safe with me to allow you the space to process them so that you do not have to stay stuck in your grief and life.

I will guide you through your transition and push you farther than you ever dreamt possible. Life may not look like the one you envisioned, but this by no means you cannot love your own life as it is now. I will support you as you make sense of what is holding you back and take the necessary steps forward to embrace your life!

In working together, you will be equipped with tools to release expectations, create healthy boundaries, and be bold in your communication. All this will be done so you can be empowered in being authentically YOU!
