S3E9: The Healing Journey of Self-Compassion and Vulnerability in Grief
What if the grief we experience isn't just about losing people, but also losing dreams, relationships, or even parts of ourselves? Our episode this week poses this provocative question as we unpack the intricate layers of grief with Steph Grainger and Kelly Berry. Steph shares inspiring stories from her journey of supporting women through past grief, turning pain into a catalyst for personal growth. In her 40s, Kelly faced profound losses and she opens up about navigating these seismic life shifts. Together, we explore the grief that sneaks in with chosen changes such as ending friendships or career transitions, and how these too can lead to a deep loss of identity.
OUR GUESTS:
Steph Grainger, Therapeutic Mentor has been supporting women since 2010, to reconnect to all that they are and desire to be, by walking beside them as they turn their pain into power, embrace all their truths, and live a free, authentic life.
She has supported many women for many different reasons, but all with the same goal in mind - to understand, trust and love themselves and move through their world awake and with intention, and free from restraints that have been attached throughout their lifetime lived so far.
