What if grief and joy could exist at the same time? What if rebuilding your life wasn’t about “moving on,” but about making meaning out of what happened?   Kelly Cervantes, author of The Luckiest and Normal Broken, joins us for a deeply human conversation about loss, identity, and resilience. In this episode of In Confidence, Kelly and Lisa unpack how to live with grief without letting it define you, how to release outdated goals, and how to rebuild a life that reflects who you are now.   What you’ll learn in this episode: What to say when someone is grieving, and why saying their name matters more than you think How to let go of old identities and goals without shame Why growth often requires redefining success instead of chasing permanence This week’s micro-moment, Rewire a Fail: how to review setbacks with compassion and turn them into learning Whether you’re grieving, changing direction, or quietly wondering who you are becoming, remember that change is not a failure. It’s part of how we grow.   Get your copy of The Luckiest   00:00 Intro 00:51 Meet Kelly Cervantes 06:32 What to Say to Someone Grieving  11:09 The Luckiest 25:00 Your Dreams and Goals Can Change 29:00 Joy and Grief 36:00 Micro-Moment #10: Rewire a Fail 39:02 Outro 40:40 Disclaimer    Connect With Us So You Never Miss a Moment of Inspiration:      Visit Our Website      Get Our Best-Selling Book in Paperback      Follow Gravitas on Instagram      Follow Lisa on Instagram      Connect with Lisa on LinkedIn      Follow Gravitas on TikTok    Follow Gravitas on Substack    Suggestions or Questions?
