Today is My 44th Birthday…
I never imagined I’d spend it standing in the ashes of my family home.
Surrounded by what’s left of everything I’ve worked my whole life for.
I fought with everything I had. It wasn’t enough.
Now, the questions I can’t stop asking are: Why? What does this mean?
I just recorded a raw, unfiltered conversation diving into those questions – to shed light on what so many families in Los Angeles are facing right now, and what so many others around the world who have experienced deep loss have had to navigate.
I invite you to join me in the conversation.
I’ll warn you upfront… I didn’t expect what I found in the ashes.
The last few weeks since losing our home in the Palisades Fire have been the hardest of my life. But in an unexpected way, they’ve also been the most inspiring.
💔 The deepest grief has come hand in hand with the greatest gratitude.
💔 I have never felt more loss—while at the same time, I have never felt more love.
For my birthday wish this year, I’m asking 3 things of you:
1️⃣ Pause—Take a moment to appreciate something you usually take for granted.
2️⃣ Give—Do something for someone out of pure, unconditional love.
3️⃣ Share—Help me spread today’s video message, not just for my family, but for every family facing a similar reality.
If you’re willing to do that for me today, drop a comment below. 🙏🏼❤️

Dear 44,
This is not what I asked for.
This is not what I ever expected.
But whatever comes next, I have faith it’s what’s meant to be.
