    When Grief Changes Who You Are: Rebuilding Your Identity After Loss with Cherise Small

    Have you ever looked in the mirror after a major loss or life transition and thought, "I don't even know who I am anymore?" Grief doesn't just change our circumstances—it can change the way we see ourselves. In this episode of the Highlight Your Healing Podcast, Shannon sits down with Cherise, licensed therapist, and author of You've Been Holding It Together, to explore what happens when grief disrupts your identity. Together, they discuss why loss can leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves, the pressure to "have it all figured out," and what it really looks like to rebuild after life changes you. Cherise also shares why healing isn't about becoming the person you were before your loss—it's about giving yourself permission to grow into who you are now. Whether you're grieving the loss of a loved one, navigating divorce, job loss, illness, or another life transition, this conversation will remind you that it's okay if you're still figuring out who you're becoming. Because healing isn't about going back. It's about moving forward with compassion for the person you're becoming.
