"Grief does not require us to become less independent. It gives us an opportunity to become less alone."
If you grew up a little feral and learned early how to take care of yourself, grief can create an unexpected challenge: learning how to receive care without feeling like you've lost yourself.
In this solo episode, I explore the tension between self-reliance and connection, why grief often changes our relationships, and how restorative grief invites us to build a life that reflects who we are becoming, not who we were before loss.
If you've ever struggled to ask for help, felt uncomfortable receiving support, or wondered how grief is reshaping what matters to you, this conversation is for you.
In this episode, we talk about:
- Self-reliance, resilience, and their limitsThe difference between independence and isolationHow grief changes relationships and capacityReceiving care without betraying yourselfBuilding a life that fits who you are now
