Description

What happens when you outgrow the life you worked so hard to build? In this episode, Meghan explores the unexpected grief that comes with positive change—the mourning that happens when you release a successful career, comfortable identity, or accomplished version of yourself that no longer fits who you’re becoming.

This isn’t about traditional loss. It’s about the complex emotions of saying goodbye to dreams you’ve achieved, identities that served you well, and the version of yourself that others could easily understand and categorize.

If you’ve ever felt guilty for being sad about letting go of something you chose to release, or you’re navigating the tender space between who you were and who you’re becoming, this episode offers validation and wisdom for honoring both your growth and your grief.

Essential listening for anyone in transition who needs permission to mourn their former selves with grace.
