    In this deeply personal episode, I open my heart to share the journey of saying goodbye to Summit, my soul dog and companion for the last 15 years. Through the rawness of grief, I explore what it means to lead, coach, and facilitate with genuine vulnerability and empathy. If you’ve ever experienced loss or wrestled with the heart-wrenching decision to let go of a beloved pet, you’ll find comfort, connection, and understanding here. I reflect on the lessons Summit taught me about unconditional love, trusting myself, and living intentionally—and how those lessons shape us as leaders and humans. You’ll hear honest insights into anticipatory grief, honoring our humanity, and building deeper relationships with those we serve by showing up, tender and true. Join me for an episode full of gentle reminders, inspiration, and practical wisdom on navigating life’s hardest moments while still showing up for ourselves and others. Whether you’re a coach, speaker, facilitator, or simply someone seeking more meaning and compassion, I invite you to discover how embracing vulnerability and remembering our loved ones—human or animal—can deepen our impact and legacy. Let’s honor our wild and precious lives, together, just like Summit would want us to.
