Welcome back to another episode of Chronicles of a Virgo Podcast. This week, we are delving into the conversation around grieving our past selves and our past lives.In this episode, I discuss:-The importance of acknowledging your past experiences and how it can be a positive guidance for your healing journey- 4 key points that have helped me during my healing journey and in my moments of grieving my past-The journey of finding liberation through embracing change and releasing resistance while on your journeyWhen we let go of past dreams, identities, or expectations, we are saying goodbye to a part of ourselves and acknowledging that those things no longer serve us anymore.
