53. You are not your grief: Reclaiming yourself after loss

In this episode of Passion, Purpose and Paychecks, I’m opening my heart to talk about something deeply personal—grief, and how it can quietly start to shape our identity after a loss.

I know what it feels like to carry deep sorrow while still trying to show up for work, for family, for life. But grief, as heavy as it is, doesn’t have to define who we are. In this conversation, I share what I’ve learned about honoring the people we’ve lost—without losing ourselves in the process.

We’ll talk about how to give grief space without giving it the steering wheel, how to gently reconnect with the parts of ourselves that feel far away, and why joy isn’t betrayal—it’s actually part of healing.

If you’ve ever whispered to yourself, “Will I ever feel like me again?”—this episode is for you.
