Ep. 22 | The Surprise of Grief

In today's episode, I'm talking about the kind of grief that surprises you — the kind that arrives even when you think you've already "processed" it. I'll share what happened after a recent breakup, why grief humbled me in ways I didn't expect, and how being honest about my shame and vulnerability helped me reconnect with myself. We'll explore how grief and love are intertwined — and why tenderness, not toughness, is the key to healing. Question to carry into your day: Where in your life are you being asked to stay open — even when everything in you wants to harden?
