10 | Living with the Stages of Parenting: Grieving the Versions of Our Kids w/ Christine Vega-Perez

from The Living Loss: Navigating Life Transitions & Invisible Grief · host Daiana Bernard, LMHC & Cassandra Harris-Towner, LMHC

Parenting is a series of beautiful hellos and quiet, heavy goodbyes. In this episode, we’re diving into the "living losses" that come with raising children—the grief of outgrowing a stage, the shift in our own identities as they gain independence, and the bittersweet reality of watching the versions of our kids we once knew slip away to make room for who they are becoming.Join Daiana and Cassandra as they sit down with life coach and healthcare professional Christine Vega-Perez. Together, they explore how to process anticipatory grief, release "mom guilt," and build a foundation of calm amid the chaotic transitions of parenthood.Connect with Christine: www.instagram.com/@lifecoach.christinewww.facebook.com/lifesriskmanagementwww.linkedin.com/in/christine-vega-perez/Join the Community: We’re building a space where every loss is seen.
