Description

Today’s episode is a short, thought-provoking reflection on the endings we all move through — the ones we choose, the ones that happen to us, and the ones that change us in ways we never expected.


 


In just 15 focused minutes, we explore:


  why endings stir up such strong emotional responses


  how to understand the difference between anticipated and sudden endings


  what happens internally when relationships, roles, or chapters come to a close


  why we resist endings, even when they lead to growth


  how to navigate the grief, relief, confusion, or uncertainty that endings often bring


  the quiet power in allowing yourself to feel what’s true, rather than what you “should” feel


 


This is a gentle, grounding listen designed to meet you exactly where you are. Whether you’re moving through a loss, a transition, or simply noticing the small endings in daily life, I hope this episode helps you make sense of what’s unfolding.
