The part where you’re functioning, smiling, going to work, showing up for everyone else… while feeling completely disconnected from yourself.This episode explores emotional shutdown, survival mode, and the guilt that often comes with not feeling “grief enough.” If you’ve ever wondered why you feel stuck, detached, or like part of you disappeared when they did, this conversation is for you.Because numbness isn’t the absence of grief.Sometimes it’s grief’s way of keeping you alive.Grab your coffee, your tissues, or just a quiet place to sit for a while. You’re not walking through this alone, babes.Pretty & Painful PodcastWhere grief and joy sit at the same table
