In today’s episode of Mourning Sips & Soul Shifts, we’re exploring a common challenge in the grief journey: the pressure to return to your “old self” before loss.

I'm here to remind you that it’s completely normal to change after a significant loss. Grief transforms us, and that transformation isn't something to fix. It’s something to honor.

In this conversation, we're digging into why people around us may struggle to understand our evolution, and mindset shifts to help you navigate this part of your healing journey.

You’ll learn about:
✨ Openly communicating about your grief and growth
✨ Setting healthy boundaries with those who expect you to be the same
✨ Seeking out relationships that honor who you’re becoming
✨ Embracing the process of rediscovering yourself after loss

This chat is a heartfelt reminder that you haven’t lost yourself, you’re simply becoming a new, more aligned version of who you are meant to be. Growth after grief is uncomfortable, but it’s also deeply beautiful.
