Ep. 96 - The Grief that Comes with Growth // Behind the Screen (Part 5/6)
Description
No one warned you that growth could come with grief. That answering a calling might mean watching parts of your old life slip away—friendships that shift, privacy that disappears, and a simplicity you didn't know to treasure until it was gone.
In this raw and reflective episode, Christy-Faith opens up about the hidden cost of stepping into purpose. She shares what it's really like to carry both gratitude and grief at the same time—to love where you are while quietly aching for what you had to leave behind.
This isn't an episode about complaining when life looks good on paper. It's about finally naming the tension so many women feel but rarely say out loud: What do I do when following a calling costs me something I didn't expect to lose?
