This week’s episode is for the woman who’s growing, healing, evolving—and quietly grieving the version of herself she had to leave behind.

Kiwanis gets real about the unspoken part of becoming: missing who you used to be. From the carefree girl with big dreams to the softer version of you that hadn’t been bruised by life yet, this episode is a tender reminder that growth and grief can coexist.

You can be proud of who you’re becoming and still miss who you were. And that’s okay.

Key Takeaways

• Growth doesn’t cancel out grief—you can feel both at the same time.
• Missing your old self doesn’t mean you’re ungrateful—it means she mattered.
• The versions of ourselves we outgrow still deserve to be honored.
• You’re not failing if you sometimes feel heavy during your healing.
• Becoming the woman you are now is built on the dreams of who you used to be.
