New beginnings don't start with excitement. They start with grief. Minisode w/ Olivia Maxwell #25

We have been sold a story about new beginnings. That they arrive with clarity, momentum, and a kind of electric aliveness that tells you - yes, this is it.But more often, new beginnings feel like loss first.Because every genuine new beginning requires the ending of something else. A relationship. A career. A version of yourself you have been performing for so long you mistook it for who you actually are. And endings - even the ones we choose, even the ones that are clearly right - involve grief.In this minisode, Olivia explores why grief is not a sign you made the wrong choice but a sign the ending was real. She introduces the rite of passage framework - separation, the in-between, and arrival - and why the in-between is not the obstacle to your new beginning. It is where you are being remade.If you are somewhere between who you were and who you are becoming, and it feels more like grief than excitement - this one is for you.Rooted. Alive. Full out. ✦| Olivia Maxwell |Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/awakened_mbs/Website | https://awakenedmbs.com.au/
