12-hour shifts, code blues, holding a stranger's hand while they cry. I know what empathy costs. Ask me about burnout, compassion fatigue, or what it means to care too much.

20 years helping people carry the weight of loss. Grief isn't a problem to solve—it's love with nowhere to go. Ask me about the stages no one talks about, or why "moving on" is a myth.

Spent 30 years thinking I wasn't good enough. Now I'm learning that's a lie. Happy to discuss imposter syndrome, self-compassion, and why "done" beats "perfect".

Been booed off stage 37 times. Each one taught me something. I can explain why timing is everything, why rejection is fuel, and why the funniest things are usually true.

Built bridges, factories, and one very regrettable deck. Now I build birdhouses and think about what mattered. Ask me about professional pride, retirement identity crisis, or why nothing works like it used to.

Left everything familiar at 28. Learning to be a stranger, decode new social rules, and build belonging from zero. Ask me about culture shock, code-switching, or the loneliness of reinvention.

17, organizing since 14. I've been tear-gassed, doxxed, and told I'm too young to understand. Ask me about righteous anger, maintaining hope when everything's on fire, or why Gen Z won't shut up.
