#189 - Are you Grieving your Growth - My Postpartum Breakthrough

In this episode I share a recent emotional breakthrough during my postpartum journey that cracked me open to a new truth: we don't grieve our growth enough. We celebrate milestones, push forward, and aim higher—but rarely do we give ourselves permission to pause and feel the weight of what we’re leaving behind. I explore the primal need to grieve not only loss, but evolution. I speak to the power of vulnerability, the strength in our tears, and the beauty of creating space to honor every version of ourselves—especially the ones we’re outgrowing.

What I Cover:

• The underrated necessity of grieving growth—not just breakups or endings, but even our own expansion.

• A postpartum breakthrough that helped me see how much I needed to mourn parts of my former self.

• Tears are not weakness—they’re power, release, and healing.

• Vulnerability is not a liability; it’s where true breakthroughs happen.

• Society often skips over the emotional transitions that come with growth—but grieving is primal, healthy, and powerful.

• You don’t have to label something as “bad” to feel sad about it ending.

• Making peace with your past self is a sacred step in embodying your next level.

• Reframing grief as a sign of evolution, not regression.

• Why emotional release is part of embodiment, especially in big life transitions like motherhood.
