afterdefeat

comebacks, defeat, and missed attempts in relationships and other life quandaries

Author: Nina

I love intimate conversation and learning about people. I've always been aware that friends and strangers alike often tell me very personal stories and secrets, some of which are heartbreaking anecdotes about loss, defeat, failure, and setback. I live and breathe Gestalt Life Coaching and focus on the present moment. My practice is both in-person and done remotely. Visit my website coachingbyninarubin.com.
