#330 Why Grief Has No Timeline with Toni Filipone

In today’s expert episode, I’m interviewing Toni Filipone, founder of Master Grief and an expert in navigating grief and loss. We discuss her personal story of losing her partner to suicide after going through a brutal divorce, and how even with 30 years of personal development coaching experience, grief left her at a complete loss. We dive deep into why grief doesn’t follow predictable patterns, the reality of “early grief,” and how societal expectations around healing are often unrealistic. We also explore how breakups can bring a unique kind of compounded grief, why it’s common to grieve the loss of a future that never happened, and how to separate facts from the painful stories we tell ourselves. If you’ve ever felt stuck, guilty, or broken during heartbreak or loss, this episode will validate your feelings and offer a fresh, compassionate perspective on moving through grief.To find out which Break Up Bestie Course is right for you, click the link to take the quiz and get matched with the best solution for you: https://tally.so/r/Y5Z6LNTo get my course bundle Heal Your Break Up, go to https://www.breakupbestie.com/heal-your-break-up-course and use the code PODCAST for $25 off!To join Healing Hearts Club for FREE: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1021288124899873Don’t let stigma stand in the way of support.
