Grief doesn’t wait for the perfect time. It shows up in our lives and our businesses, and no amount of hustle can make it disappear. Whether it’s the loss of a loved one, a relationship, a dream, or even a past version of yourself—you can’t just power through it at full speed.

In this episode, I’m opening up about how grief has shown up in my own life and how I’ve learned to stop ignoring it and start making space for it. Instead of pushing harder, I’ve built a few simple micro habits that help me stay grounded, keep perspective, and continue moving—slowly but surely—even in the hardest seasons.

These aren’t grand gestures. They’re small, doable practices you can hold onto when everything feels overwhelming. If you’re walking through grief right now—or you want to tuck away tools for when life feels heavy—this conversation is for you.

In This Episode, I Talk About

• Why grief isn’t something you “get over,” but a landscape you learn to navigate
• How ignoring grief resurfaces in your work, your energy, and your focus
• Why lowering your capacity isn’t failure—it’s a form of self-preservation
• What it looks like to prioritize healing over hustle
