The Grief of Growth | Choosing Yourself Without Losing Your Softness

Описание: Growth is often celebrated as freedom, confidence, and clarity—but what we don’t talk about enough is the grief that can come with it.

In this episode, I reflect on the quiet loss that often shows up when you stop over-explaining, over-accommodating, and abandoning yourself to keep the peace. This conversation isn’t about regret or blame. It’s about compassion for who you had to be, and clarity about who you no longer need to be as you step into a new season of life.

As I closed out 2025 and entered a new chapter—including becoming a wife—I realized that growth didn’t just bring relief. It brought grief. And in this episode, I sit with that honestly, without rushing to fix it.

If you’re navigating change, setting boundaries, or learning how to choose yourself without becoming hardened, this conversation is for you.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why growth can bring grief before it brings freedom

• Letting go of silence and over-accommodation

• Reframing anger as awareness, not failure

• Honoring past versions of yourself without returning to them

• Choosing clarity and discernment in a new season

Take your time with this one 🤍
