Grief That Coexists: Letting Go of the Life You Thought You Wanted with Simona Costantini

Grief isn’t always one defining moment. Sometimes, it’s woven quietly into the fabric of our lives. In this episode, I sit down with Simona Costantini, founder of Volt Productions and host of Happiness Happens, to explore the many forms grief can take beyond death and traditional loss. We talk about grieving the life you thought you wanted, career paths that no longer fit, expectations placed on you, and versions of yourself you’ve outgrown. Simona shares her journey from corporate marketing into entrepreneurship and how conscious choice, visibility, and amplifying your voice often require letting go of who you used to be. One of the most powerful moments in our conversation: “Everything and nothing changes at the same time.” This episode is for anyone navigating identity shifts, career transitions, reinvention after loss, or the quiet grief of becoming someone new. Because grief doesn’t just close chapters — it opens new ones.
