I ended 2025 alone on the couch in tears.
After 2.5 years of building a life together in Shanghai, my partner had to return to Italy suddenly to care for his family. The details aren't mine to share — but what is mine to share is what happened to me.
In this episode I talk about what it actually looks like to navigate deep uncertainty without bypassing your grief. The nervous system piece nobody talks about. The slow rebuild. Flying to Italy three times in four months. Embroidery. Thrifting. And what I've learned about holding grief and joy — not in separate boxes, but at the same time, in the same body, on the same day.
I'm a licensed therapist. I teach resilience for a living. And I had to live every bit of this in real time.
This one's personal. I hope it gives you permission to be in the messy middle without having to fix it yet.
