Navigating work after loss is a delicate balance between personal healing and professional responsibilities. This week, I reflect on my own experience returning to work after losing Billie, the challenges I faced, and the steps that helped me regain my footing.

Whether it’s setting boundaries, leaning on a trusted colleague, or simply allowing yourself grace, small actions can make a big difference. Grief doesn’t follow a set path, but with support and intention, it’s possible to find your way forward.

I also share some exciting updates, including a first look at the Room Eleven video essay series, and a quote that’s been resonating with me this week: "Let them."

Catch all this and more in this week’s edition. As always, your thoughts and feedback are welcome—I’d love to hear from you!
