SoulPeaceful helps you have the conversations, organize the wishes & preserve the pieces of your life that don't fit neatly into traditional planning. From guidance before a crisis to legacy letters, stories & keepsakes, it's about making sure the people you love aren't left guessing — and that the things that matter aren't left unsaid.
Legal documents can name who handles your affairs, outline medical wishes & put important decisions in writing. SoulPeaceful focuses on what those documents were never meant to hold — the conversations you want to have, the things you want people to understand, the stories you don’t want lost & the words you want left behind.
That’s where SoulPeaceful comes in.
Together, we talk through what matters to you, put wishes & personal details into words, preserve stories & memories, and create legacy pieces that leave the people you love with more than paperwork and possessions.
Because knowing who handles your affairs matters. Knowing who you were matters, too.
What matters to me & how do I make it known?
Support for the conversations, wishes & decisions that are easier to make before a crisis.
What do I want them to remember?
Legacy letters, reflection prompts & meaningful ways to preserve the stories that make you, you.
What can I leave them to hold onto?
Custom memory boxes, frames & personalized pieces created to hold the people, moments & memories that matter
Long before SoulPeaceful had a name, life was already teaching me why something like it needed to exist. Some lessons came with time to prepare. Others arrived without warning.
I cared for my mom through cancer, trying to understand what she wanted while we still had time to talk about it. I’ve walked beside my husband through his own diagnosis. And for very different reasons, I’ve looked at each of my boys in moments when there was no time to prepare — including standing in an ER at 6 AM realizing I might have to make decisions no parent ever expects to make.
Those experiences taught me that paperwork matters, but it can’t tell the whole story. And real stories aren’t always pretty. They can include illness, addiction, mistakes, complicated relationships & chapters we might have written differently.
But one ugly chapter should never get to become the whole book.
I understand how vulnerable it can be to trust someone with those parts of your life because I’m human, too. I have chapters I wouldn’t lead with either. There’s no judgment here. You decide what gets told, what stays private & what you want carried forward. Nothing gets written, created or shared without your permission. Your story stays yours.
I’m here to help you decide how you want your story told, what you want remembered & what you want carried forward — the hard-earned lessons, the people you loved, the traditions, the ridiculous stories, the things that still make you laugh & all the little pieces that made you, you.
That’s why I created SoulPeaceful — a place to have the conversations before they become crisis conversations, preserve the stories that matter & give the harder chapters their proper place without allowing them to define an entire life.
We may not get to choose every chapter. But while we’re still here, we get a say in how the whole story is told.

I'm a mom, an Oma to my little Riptide, a wife, a dog mom, a beach lover & a human being, although some days that last one is questionable. I'm a little bit of organized chaos, a whole lot of heart & the proud owner of a brain that apparently didn't come with an off switch.
My grandson Colton changed my whole shoreline before he was even born. My family is my everything, Cali is my four-legged sidekick & the ocean is where I go when my brain and the rest of me need to have a little discussion about who's actually in charge.
I have a bachelor's degree in Psychology with a focus on Addictions, which I originally pursued so my mom could say she had at least one kid who did something right. I also have years of experience working in healthcare, although neither my degree nor my experience has stopped me from occasionally wondering what the hell I'm doing. Apparently, knowing how the human brain works doesn't mean mine always cooperates. Just ask Captain Why.
When you sit down with me, you don't need the perfect words or a perfectly organized life. You just need to be you. I'll bring a listening ear, a little humor when we need it & the understanding that trusting someone with your story is no small thing.
Things the Tide Left Behind
Ever wonder what happens when an overactive brain, a slightly sarcastic sense of humor & a whole lot of heart end up in the same place? Well, Captain Why usually has something to say about it.
Things the Tide Left Behind is where I share my Broken Shell Wisdom, life's unexpected lessons, the things that make me laugh, the things that make me think & whatever else the tide happens to wash ashore. Some days it's thoughtful, some days it's funny & some days even I'm not entirely sure where we're going with it.
Life isn't always pretty, peaceful or organized, but even the broken shells have a story worth telling.
MEMORIES • STORIES • LEGACY
A place for the little things that hold the biggest memories. Photographs, letters, treasured belongings & the pieces of a life that deserve to be kept together and passed down.
Your words, your stories & the things you want the people you love to know. Personal letters that preserve your voice, share what matters most & give your loved ones something to hold onto long after the conversation ends.
The images shown are examples intended to inspire. Each memory box, legacy letter & keepsake is thoughtfully personalized to reflect your unique story, memories & wishes. Your finished piece may differ from the examples pictured, because no two lives or legacies are exactly alike.
Meaningful pieces created around the people, moments & memories that matter most. A personal way to preserve a story, celebrate a life or keep someone you love close.
You don't need to have all the answers or even know exactly where to begin. Tell me a little about what brought you here & we'll figure out the next step together. No pressure, no perfect words needed. Just a conversation.
Thank you for reaching out. I’ll be in touch soon & we’ll take it from there.
