Grief doesn’t have to be a large, heavy boulder on your back weighing you down. It can be as small as a pebble in your pocket. One thing about grief sometimes - you may not even realize you are experiencing it at all.

Margo Arrowsmith, Dot Wiggins, Dave Baldwin, and Amy Lanci share their insight on:

You can’t prevent pigeonholing from happening to you. But you CAN learn the right tools to recognize it when it does and assertively address it. You know your worth, and you deserve to break free from being pigeonholed.
