    Ep 85 For When You're Ready to Rediscover Yourself

    Ep 85 For When You're Ready to Rediscover Yourself

    One of the most awkward and painful parts of grieving, one of those sneaky little things no one warns you about, is that you lose yourself to the grief. It’s as if parts of you died, too. You forget your strengths, your passions, and the things that used to bring you joy. And as you start to come out of the fog of the initial grief storm, you realize you have to rediscover who you were and decide who you’ll be.

Excellent Podcast!

Becky is a wise and trusted voice on the topic of grief, loss being human. Glad to have these words to guide us. Podcast is brief and great for fitting in my busy schedule.

Niki Hardy ,

Honest, real and practical

Becky gets it. She’s real, relatable and understands what it’s like to have been side swipes by life. This podcast is a life line.

Erbelpung ,

Real, raw, and encouraging.

For when you’re in a season of grief, know someone in grief, or want to hear and understand and be inspired by others’ lives and stories. Surround yourself with people with different stories, your world will open up! Thanks, Becky!
