The Other Side of Potential
Over time, the conversations we choose to have begin to reflect what matters most.
If you’ve been part of this podcast, you’ve heard me speak about human development, systems thinking, and the ways we make meaning of our lives and work. That work continues—and remains at the core of my coaching and professional practice.
What has changed is the space where I am choosing to have a different kind of conversation.
After the death of my son, Michael, I felt called to create a more personal place—one that speaks directly to the experience of loss, and to the questions that emerge when life no longer looks the way it once did.
That space is now Beyond the Loss.
This podcast is for parents who have lost a child, and for those who support them. It is not about fixing grief or finding closure, but about understanding how we continue to live, to make meaning, and to become—after loss.
If you are looking for my current podcast,
you will now find me there.
I invite you to join me on Beyond the Loss.
You are welcome.

Ep 0: Before You Press Play: A Gentle Guide to Listening
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Early grief is visible.
The long after is quieter.
There’s a kind of listening that isn’t about gathering information…
but about allowing something to meet you, at your own pace.
This opening episode of Beyond the Loss creates space for that kind of listening—
for what unfolds over time, often outside language, outside expectation.
This is a space for parents living in the long after,
for those who walk alongside them,
and for anyone beginning to sense that grief reshapes more than emotion—it reshapes the architecture of a life.
A gentle note: this is not a space for acute grief or crisis support.
If your loss is very recent, you deserve care that is closer, more immediate.
This will still be here when you’re ready.
As you listen, notice what happens when there’s no pressure to keep up,
no need to agree,
no expectation to take anything in that doesn’t belong to you.
You’re not here to do this “well.”
You’re here to be with what meets you.

Sometimes, seeing and hearing together reveals something that words alone don’t.
You don’t need the right words to be here.
Just begin where you are.
