Meet Helen Ngo
WRITER & SPEAKER
Sudden loss shattered my world. My boyfriend, niece, and best friend. Gone, leaving me hardened and numb.
I spent 20 years zombie-ing through life, tying my worth to productivity, battling perfectionism and gold-star syndrome while juggling roles as a mom, sister, friend, and financial advisor. Hyper-independence became my armor.
Until therapy cracked that shell, splintering the steel walls I'd built and sparked a path to clarity and the desire to live again.
I'm not an expert on grief or loss. I'm just someone who's been through it and found my way back.
Through my writing, speaking, and workshops, I share what this journey has looked like — the messy parts, the small wins, and what's actually helped me heal , manage my grief, and enjoy life again.
But this space isn't really about my story.
It's about connection.
Connection is what heals. The connection I made with my therapist saved my life when I was drowning in the deepest depression, feeling completely alone and invisible. That single relationship brought me back to life.
In my darkest days, I wanted to end it all because I felt like I had absolutely no one.
Lonely, unimportant, unseen. We're not meant to carry that alone.
If someone can see themselves in my story — if my experience can be that one spark of hope that says "me too, and I made it through" — then this all means something and is so worth it.
Whether you're facing grief from death, divorce, job loss, or shattered dreams — you don't have to figure out what comes next alone.
That's why I created this space. When I'm not writing or speaking, I'm laughing through chaos with my kids.
Your story matters too.

Healing after loss is hard when you were taught to measure love in productivity.
Because grief is the opposite of productive.
It demands stillness, slowness, feeling. And that’s where the real work happens.
