Description

Grieving the loss of your professional experiences isn’t a weakness—it’s your nervous system trying to finish a story it hasn’t been allowed to tell. This is why losing a creative job, a client, a team, a title, or even the daily rhythm of creative work doesn’t just sting us emotionally—it rewires our brain’s chemistry. 

In this episode, we discuss what happens when the routines, recognition, and relationships that fuel your brain’s reward system suddenly vanish, and how unprocessed grief can trap you in rumination mode, searching for closure your brain never got.

You'll also hear 3 key strategies you can use to process difficult professional experiences, PLUS a very important announcement from Jamie Roberts. 🙂
