My Story

Healing happens when we are seen.

Judy Thureson has a genuine desire to see people learn how to love themselves and live their most authentic life. In the last decade, she has helped hundreds of clients heal and grow through adversity — transforming their mental, physical, and spiritual health.

In June of 2019, Judy experienced the tragic loss of her eighteen-year-old son, Jacob, to an opioid overdose. In the midst of unimaginable grief, she began to write — and to lead others through the storms of loss with honesty, gentleness, and hope.

A certified Grief Recovery Specialist and the creator of the GIVE Principle, Judy is a trusted resource for grieving families and anyone learning to carry what feels unbearable.

“I am healing you so you can heal others.”

Beautiful Tragedy

How to Cultivate Strength and Resilience During Life’s Greatest Challenges

A mother’s journey, chronicling the loss of her son Jacob to opioids — and the path she found back toward light.

Beautiful Tragedy introduces the GIVE Principle and shares how you can survive trauma and tragedy through a lens of gratitude and self-care. It is a companion for anyone navigating grief, and proof that we can still find beauty on the other side of the unimaginable.

The GIVE Principle

You cannot pour from an empty cup.

The GIVE Principle is Judy’s framework for healing and wholeness — a way of tending to yourself so you have something real to offer the people you love. Healing happens when we have a witness, when we are seen, when we find a safe place to be our authentic self.

What People Are Saying

Being seen changes everything.

“Judy is a living example of pushing past fear, excuses, and comparison to flourish and serve others. She experienced a most tragic experience, and rather than being drowned by it, she shares it and changes lives. Her being has given me renewed courage and tools for tapping into my own.”

Tiffany W.Actress & Director

“Over two years with Judy’s coaching, mentorship, and love, I built a successful multi-six-figure coaching business that serves the world and fills my soul. She is the right balance of love and compassion, paired with enough fire to keep you in alignment. I would not be where I am without her.”
