What do you think of when you hear the word grief? The death of a loved one, a pet, a divorce? Grief manifests in so many ways other than death, such as moving, your children's stages of development, losing a friendship or a wish about how you want something to be. And have you considered why it's so hard to let go, even of the things we know are not good for us?

Join Amanda & Ginny as they journey into all things grief. Understand how to spot it and move through it in a way that serves your personal development.

Other ideas they unpack are:

The biggest form of loss we do not recognize as loss is change...any change, good or "bad."
The importance of recognizing and processing smaller, daily losses so your pain doesn't come out sideways and hurt others.
Loss is just as much a part of life as love and if we cannot embrace feelings of loss and grief, we cannot embrace feelings of love and joy.
Authenticity, and following your soul calling, can be difficult because we fear a lack of approval or acceptance, which brings feeling of loss.
Being okay if someone chooses to withhold their love from you because you've made a decision they don't agree with.
Honoring all the parts of us, especially the dark parts, as a pathway forward through grief.
Resistance to loss happens because it reminds us of childhood emotional abandonment.
And so much more!
