Encore Episode: Loving Yourself After Loss — Finding Your Way Back to You

Some conversations are worth revisiting.

This week, I'm bringing back one of the most meaningful episodes from earlier this season because the message is just as important today as it was when it first aired.

Have you ever looked in the mirror and thought, "I don't recognize myself anymore?"

Do you feel like grief has taken not only your baby, but pieces of who you used to be?

Are you wondering who you are now and whether this version of you is still deserving of love?

In this episode, we explore one of the most tender realities of grief: how loss changes your identity and how difficult it can feel to love the woman you are becoming.

Grief can leave you feeling disconnected from yourself. Your reflection may look different. Your energy may feel unfamiliar. Your purpose may seem unclear. The version of you before loss can begin to feel like someone you used to know rather than someone you still are.

Together, we'll talk about why self-love often feels out of reach after loss, why that distance has nothing to do with your worth, and gentle ways to begin reconnecting with yourself again.

Because loving yourself after loss isn't about returning to who you were before. It's about learning to honor who you are today.

In This Episode You'll Hear: Why grief often impacts your sense of identity The hidden guilt many grieving women carry Gentle ways to reconnect with yourself after loss How self-compassion can become part of your healing journey Why becoming someone different doesn't mean you've lost your value
