Episode Details

Grief is not limited to death, and in this episode I open up about the kinds of loss that often go unrecognized or unspoken. I share how I have experienced grief through unmet desires, ended relationships, identity shifts, and the quiet sacrifices I made to meet expectations that were never truly mine.

I talk about what it felt like to let go of a path I deeply wanted, walking away from a long-term relationship that was rooted in love, and navigating the loss of identity as I stepped into my truth. None of these moments involved death, but each of them required me to grieve, process, and heal.

This conversation is about giving myself, and you, permission to acknowledge the losses we are often told to move on from without pause. I have learned that when I ignore these experiences, I carry them with me unresolved. When I face them, I create space for real healing.

Grief shows up in the loss of who I thought I would be, the life I imagined, the relationships I outgrew, and the versions of myself I had to release. Every loss deserves recognition, and every moment of grief deserves care.

I want you to know that you are allowed to grieve what mattered to you, even if the world did not.
