Sunday Shortie: The Five Stages of Grief in Transitions
from Rock the Damn Boat · host Christy Hughes
In this Sunday Shortie, I’m sharing what the five stages of grief really look like in real time as I close my yoga studio — and how I’ve found myself stuck in bargaining more than anywhere else. The quiet negotiations. The “what if I just tried one more thing?” The hope that maybe the right post, the right reel, the right moment could change everything.I’m also talking about why I’m taking a social media hiatus — because scrolling and posting started to feel less like marketing and more like gambling, waiting for a viral hit to save the day.This episode is about letting go, noticing where we cling, and choosing presence over performance when an ending is unavoidable. If you’ve ever struggled to stop negotiating with something that’s already over, this one’s for you.
