BEYOND THE SURFACE: beyond goodbye

BEYOND THE SURFACE LIVE: Beyond Goodbye is An intimate, in-person conversation about continuing life when the world doesn’t pause.

This live experience brings together a panel of women who have walked through profound loss—and then had to keep living while the world moved on.

Beyond Goodbye is not focused on the moment of loss itself. It centers on what came after. When work still expected you to show up. When responsibilities didn’t slow down. When the world kept turning, even though your inner world had been completely rearranged.

This conversation explores:

• How these women learned to move again when stopping wasn’t an option
• What resilience looked like in real, everyday moments
• The mental shifts, emotional tools, and inner negotiations that helped them re-enter life
• How they found a new rhythm, not by “moving on,” but by moving forward differently

This is not about sadness for sadness’ sake.

It’s about navigation.

Through guided dialogue, reflection, and connection, attendees will witness honest stories about rebuilding routines, redefining normal, and learning how to live in a body and mind that had been changed by loss, while deadlines, jobs, families, and life continued to demand presence.

In the days leading up to the event, attendees will also experience Beyond the Panel...short, personal conversations with each panelist that offer a deeper look into who they are, how they coped, and what supported them during the in-between moments no one sees.

Beyond Goodbye is for anyone who has experienced loss of any kind and wondered:

• How do I keep going when I don’t feel ready?
• How do I function in a world that didn’t stop for my pain?
• How do I rebuild a sense of normal when everything feels different?

This is a conversation about resilience, adaptation, and the quiet strength it takes to re-enter life—one moment at a time.

This experience is meant to be felt.

Not rushed.

Not forced.

And not forgotten.
