The Story Behind WayFinder
WayFinder’s story begins with both profound love and profound loss—the birth and death of a sweet baby girl, Leah.
Through that experience came deeply transformative lessons. It revealed the importance of honoring our individuality—recognizing that we learn, grow, and thrive when we are free to interpret our experiences in ways that are personal and meaningful. In doing so, we not only elevate our own lives, but we connect with others more authentically—understanding that while we cannot be everything to everyone, what we can offer is depth, presence, and genuine connection.
It also illuminated the truth of our interdependence. We are not meant to navigate life alone. When we come together—supporting, challenging, and uplifting one another—we become far greater than the sum of our individual parts.
We are held by those who came before us, we walk alongside our peers, and we carry forward those who are still rising.
Then came another turning point: a cancer diagnosis. In many ways, it was like putting on a pair of glasses—suddenly, everything came into focus. Clarity replaced hesitation. The timing became undeniable.
And from that clarity, WayFinder was born.
