Ep.57 Grieving what you never had
In this episode, we talk about a tender kind of grief that often goes unspoken — the grief of a life that didn’t happen. The future you imagined, the timeline you were hoping for, the version of your story that never came to be. Whether it’s a relationship that ended, a vision for your future that will never come to be, or a season that didn’t unfold the way you thought it would, this kind of loss is real — even if it’s invisible. And yet, so often, it’s not validated by the world around us. We explore what it means to hold space for that grief. To acknowledge the ache of things like not becoming a parent, your retirement plan ending with your relationship ending, or navigating the lonely stretch between what you hoped for and where you are now. Grief isn’t just about losing what you had — it’s also about mourning what you didn’t. And in naming it, we begin to honor it. We begin to heal. If you’ve ever felt a quiet sadness about the path you didn’t take, or the version of your life you thought you’d be living by now, this conversation is for you.
