Sunshine Through the Suck
This is where I shine. This is fully present, in-person support for women (cis and trans) and LGBTQIA+ people navigating major life transitions. You don’t need help figuring out what to do. You need someone next to you while you face it down and get it done.
You've been the reliable one. The one who holds it together. The one everyone counts on. This is where you finally get to receive the same care you've always provided. Don't do hard things alone anymore. I help you stay regulated and making progress when it counts most.
Best for you if you need
A calm, capable person beside you while you do something emotionally loaded and overdue
Body doubling for the life stuff you’ve been neglecting because you’ve been in survival mode
Someone who can hold space for grief, anger, doubt, and brain-weasel spirals without making it a performance
Support through a major transition when your support system is unreliable, judgmental, or gone
“She gave me a place to land in my darkest time—and helped me find my way through it.”
What it looks like (a few examples)
The Ex-Spouse Purge: boxing, sorting, donating, rearranging, reclaiming the space.
The Neglected Life Catch-Up: appointments booked, inbox dealt with, paperwork handled, home reset—while I body-double and keep you from quitting.
The Big Scary Errand Day: DMV, attorney consult, bank, HR, school meeting, difficult family visit—someone beside you.
The “Sit With Me Through The Suck” Day: you talk, cry, rage, untangle the story, and we keep taking small steps so you don’t freeze.
What’s included
Pre-day calibration call (30 min): what we’re doing, what support you need, what the boundaries are
Up to 5 hours (Half Day) or 9 hours (Full Day) in-person support
Practical help + emotional grounding (presence, pacing, decision support, scripts, breaks)
A short wrap-up message after: what we accomplished + next step (not a “plan,” just the next foothold)
What it is NOT
Therapy, diagnosis, or clinical treatment — if you want clinical support, I'll help you find it and I'm happy to work alongside it as practical backup
Medical/legal advice
Crisis response or suicidal intervention
Physical protection, confrontation, or “I’ll fight your ex” energy
Housekeeping labor as the core service (I can assist lightly, but I’m not your cleaning crew)
Boundaries
You cover expenses (donation runs, storage bins, meals, parking, etc.)
No drugs/illegal activity; no driving anyone impaired
If an environment becomes unsafe, we leave
If the need is crisis-level, I’ll help connect you to appropriate resources, but I’m not the resource
“I got divorced at 52 and relocated myself across the country at 53 — no friends, no family for thousands of miles. Therapy is great but if you can’t put it into practice, things don’t really get better. Sunshine helps me put my therapy into practice.”
