An unfiltered stream-of-consciousness episode on the role grief plays in your cocoon season, and how on your way to transformation, you move through the full cycle of grief before that transformation is fully embodied.

These feelings form the bridge between cocoon season and butterfly season: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. The undoing required before stepping into the next version of you can look like:

• Being in denial about the type of change that needs to happen
• Feeling angry that you have to be the one to fix mistakes others made
• Trying to negotiate a quicker, less painful way through cocoon season
• Feeling so depressed about what has transpired that you lack motivation to do what’s required to change
• Finally, accepting that this is your reality and that the only person who can save you is you

It is after acceptance that true change can occur.
