Grieving Old Versions of Ourselves

from It’s Not That Serious · host twinnytimes2

This week on It’s Not That Serious, we’re talking about something people don’t discuss enough — grieving old versions of ourselves. The older we get, the more we realize growth doesn’t just bring change… it also brings loss. Sometimes we miss the carefree version of ourselves, the more hopeful version, the version before heartbreak, burnout, motherhood, healing, boundaries, or life simply changed us. In this episode, we talk about: Missing old versions of ourselves while still knowing we’ve grown Why healing can sometimes feel lonely Outgrowing friendships, habits, and old patterns Romanticizing seasons of life that weren’t actually healthy The weirdness of realizing you’re not who you used to be How people react when you change The balance between honoring your past self and embracing who you’re becoming We also share some funny moments about the things our past selves would NEVER believe about us now. This episode is honest, reflective, funny, and a reminder that becoming who you’re meant to be often requires letting go of who you used to be. Because maybe growth isn’t about becoming someone completely new…maybe it’s about finally becoming yourself. Follow us on instagram at twinnytimes2
