What Hugo Taught Me About Space, Grief, and Grace

When loss hit my family back-to-back, I found myself learning one of life’s gentlest lessons from my dog.In this episode, I share how Hugo, my 10-month-old Doberman, somehow knew when to pull close and when to give space. No one told him about grief. He just understood it.Through heartbreak, leadership, and quiet love, this story is about learning to read the room, honor someone’s silence, and hold space with grace—no words required.Sometimes, the best teachers don’t speak at all.
