Episode 317 - “Ending Things Well”

What this episode covers

Episode 317 - “Ending Things Well”Not every ending has to become a disaster to matter deeply. Some endings arrive quietly. A relationship changes. A chapter closes. A role, routine, or version of life comes to an end. And often, what stays with us most is not just that something ended… but how it ended. In this episode, Michelle and Scott explore the emotional complexity of endings—why they affect us so deeply, why people often avoid them or handle them poorly, and what it means to bring honesty, care, and clarity into the closing of something meaningful. This isn’t about making endings painless. It’s about understanding that closure is less about perfection… and more about the way we leave each other when something can no longer continue.Keeping Your Sh*t Together in a Stressed World is a podcast hosted by Michelle Post, MA, LMFT and Scott Grossberg, JD, CLC, CCH, NLP, and is 30 minutes of raw, irreverent, and results-oriented discussion with one purpose in mind . . . to help you cope, thrive, and survive the craziness that's going on in the world.As a reminder, our “Get Your Sh*t Together” Home Retreat can be found here:http://thinkingmagically.com/retreatReplays of prior episodes can be found at:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/scott-grossbergYou can also join our Facebook group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/keepingystMichelle Post can be reached at [email protected] http://postinternationalinc.com
