E32: Every Gain Includes Loss: The Hidden Grief of Success, Growth, and Accomplishment
Description
Society tells us that achievements are supposed to feel good—so why do they sometimes leave you feeling unsettled, sad, or even disconnected? This episode explores gain grief—the hidden grief that lives beneath "positive" milestones like graduation, marriage, promotions, parenthood, and more.
You'll learn:
-
Why even "positive" transitions can be accompanied by real grief
-
How to recognize gain grief in your own life
-
Why naming hidden grief brings clarity, not heaviness
-
How to honor what you're leaving behind, even if you're excited about what's next
-
Ways to notice gains that may quietly exist within your losses
