Grief isn’t just for death and divorce, but can and is often woven into the everyday tapestry of our lives. It can be quiet, sneaky, and many times overlooked. In this solo episode, I’m talking about the grief we don’t always see: the loss of old dreams, former versions of ourselves, identities, even ambition. And how if we don’t acknowledge it, it finds a way to show up. Whether you’ve been triggered by someone on Instagram or you’re navigating life after a major loss, my hope is that this episode will meet you where you are, with curiosity, compassion, and the reminder that our healing starts when we’re willing to name what we’ve lost. What you’ll hear about in this episode: Why grief is more than just sadness and how it can manifest as anger, disconnection, or “What’s wrong with me?” How to recognize the invisible griefs in your life, from motherhood shifts to identity changes The power of curiosity to disrupt autopilot thinking and uncover deeper truths What a triggered Instagram spiral taught me about grieving old versions of myself How grief is especially necessary right now in our collective moment and why we need to make space for it Journaling questions from this episode: How did this topic of grief land for you? What if you could let yourself name what you lost? Where might grief be quietly shaping your decisions or energy? Is it speaking for your inner critic?
