Novelist Claire Gibson has spent years doing the part of writing no one sees—the showing up, the refining, the staying with it long before anyone pays attention.

Now, with her novel Burst Into Song on the horizon, things are starting to move.

This conversation lives in the long middle—the doubt, the quiet, the moments when it feels too hard. And why that’s often where the real work is happening.

Gibson stayed with it long enough for the work to catch up.

If you’re in the thick of it—still working, still waiting—this one’s for you.

Losing our son William changed everything.

In the middle of that grief, I experienced something I still can’t fully explain—something that reshaped how I understand loss, connection, and what it means to say goodbye.

Do the people we love completely leave us?
Can they still reach us in ways we don’t expect?

In this episode, I share that moment—and what it’s opened up for me about grief, presence, and the possibility that love doesn’t end where life does.

There’s one simple practice that can change your life, and it doesn’t take discipline, talent, or effort the way most habits do. It’s something we often overlook, but the science and the lived experience both point to the same truth: gratitude has the power to transform how we think, feel, and connect.

In this episode, I share why gratitude is so powerful, how it builds resilience and emotional strength, and the real-life moments that proved it to me. From a teacher who changed my life to the people who showed up for my family in recovery, this is about learning how to look inward, speak it out, and change not just your life, but someone else’s too.
