Her Becoming

40. The Grief that Comes with Personal Growth


Listen Later

Episode 40!! One year of Her Becoming. And a topic we don’t talk about enough: grief

In today’s episode, I reflect on what has changed in the past year and dissect the grief that comes with growth.

We often romanticize healing as empowering, beautiful, and transformative — and it is. But what we don’t talk about is the grief of:

  • Letting go of old identities

  • Releasing past versions of yourself

  • Mourning timelines that didn’t unfold the way you thought

  • Missing something that you know wasn’t aligned

  • Feeling lonely in your evolution

I'll share:

  • Why healing is an ongoing dial (not a destination)

  • How grief shows up in the body and nervous system

  • Why your brain tries to return to old familiarity

  • How to move forward without bypassing your emotions

  • Rituals to honor what you’re releasing

  • How to embody your new identity

If you are navigating a breakup, career transition, identity shift, loss, or major life change — this episode is your reminder:

You are not behind.
You are not off track.
You are right on time.
