072 - Grief Changed Me. These 5 Practices Helped Me Find Myself Again.

from Tuned In The Podcast with Mary Hopper · host Mary Hopper

Grief changes you. There’s no clean ending to it, no moment where it suddenly disappears and life goes back to normal. In this episode, I’m sharing a very personal part of my story and the practices that helped me reconnect with myself after losing my first son and later walking through my mother’s cancer journey and death. For a long time, I felt disconnected from my body, my energy, and my sense of self. What helped me move forward was learning how to support myself instead of abandoning myself inside the sadness.I walk through the five decisions that slowly helped me take my life back from grief. Building a spiritual practice that felt true for me. Allowing uncomfortable feelings instead of resisting them. Learning to trust myself. Prioritizing my self-care. Committing to mindfulness and consistently tuning into my inner world. These weren’t overnight shifts. They became practices that helped me feel grounded, connected, and safe in myself again over time.If you are grieving, feeling lost, emotionally exhausted, or disconnected from your body, I hope this episode reminds you that healing is possible and that you do not have to move through it alone. Your body holds wisdom even in the hardest seasons. You can learn to trust yourself through them.Resources:Tuned In Membership
