A few years ago, I faced one of the most challenging seasons of my life: in the span of a single year, I experienced the loss of nine loved ones. Grief became my constant companion, and in the process, I realised how unprepared we often are for the practical and emotional realities of death. These losses ignited a deep desire within me to help others navigate these transitions with grace and intention.

Amid this period of grief, I undertook a transformative journey on the Camino de Santiago. Before I left, I spent weeks clearing out my home, organising my affairs, and addressing emotional and physical clutter that had been weighing me down.

There was a profound sense of liberation in this process—a feeling of stepping into the unknown with clarity and lightness. Walking the Camino was a soul-stirring experience that deepened my connection to life’s sacredness and fragility. Each step was a reminder of the beauty of simplicity and the power of being present.
