WELCOME
You didn't plan for this chapter: the loss, the change, the ache of starting over.
But here you are, still standing.
You may feel like you've lost everything, yet somewhere deep down, you still feel there's more.
A life you imagine, design, and create.
About Me
I’m LuAnn Collins, Ph.D., MSIT – mother, grandmother, dog caregiver, educator, coach, and fellow traveler through loss and renewal.
After 40 years of marriage, I faced divorce from a chaotic relationship with a covert narcissist, the despair of financial collapse, and the heartbreak of estrangement.
I know the struggle of starting over.
I also discovered something I didn’t expect in my grief recovery – the power to rebuild joy, purpose, and peace.
What I teach and coach are the same tools, methods, and mindsets I practice daily that brought me from despair to delight.
Your future is bright.
I’m here to help you shine.
