Grief just isn't just about losing a loved one, it's about losing parts of ourselves, our dreams, and the illusions we once held close.
In this episode of The Wild Hearted Podcast, Cassie sits with many layers of grief. We often don't realize how much of our lives are built around what we thought would be. But what happens when those expectations dissolve? When reality doesn't match the dream? Do we allow ourselves to grieve those illusions the way we would grieve a person?
Grief doesn't always feel like growth. It's not about forcing transformation, it's about being present with what is. When we stop resisting, when we allow ourselves to grieve fully, we create space for something deeper: self-awareness, acceptance, and the freedom to evolve.
