Entering a new year while grieving can feel incredibly complex. While the world celebrates fresh starts and new beginnings, your grief doesn’t simply disappear when the calendar changes.

In this episode, we explore:
✨ Why the “fresh start” narrative can feel painful when you’re grieving
✨ How to approach the new year as a gentle continuation, not a restart
✨ Letting go of forced positivity and making space for emotional complexity
✨ Why capacity-setting matters more than goal-setting in grief
✨ Honoring fear, hesitation, and uncertainty about the future
✨ How to carry love and memory forward without pressure to “move on”
✨ Finding hope that feels quiet, realistic, and supportive

This conversation is for anyone who feels caught between longing for hope and excitement, and honoring the sadness, fear, or tenderness that grief brings.

 Perhaps you're:
✨ Entering a new year after loss
✨ Struggling with new year grief or holiday grief hangover
✨ Feeling pressure to feel excited or motivated while grieving
✨ Navigating grief, anxiety, or emotional exhaustion
✨ Wanting grief-informed support without toxic positivity

Rather than forcing positivity or setting unrealistic expectations, this episode offers compassionate reframes that allow grief and hope to coexist. You’ll be invited to soften the pressure of “starting over” and instead approach the new year with honesty, self-trust, and emotional spaciousness.
