    GRIEF doesn't have a TIMELINE- and NEITHER do I

    In this heartfelt episode, I open up about my journey through grief after losing my brother and gently challenge the idea that healing should follow a set schedule. I speak candidly about how grief is not a moment to move past, but a continuous process of learning to live with an invisible wound. Grief is love without a place to go, a reflection of how deeply we cared, and a reminder that some people leave a permanent imprint on our souls. This episode dives into the emotional, spiritual, and human layers of grief how it pauses time, alters our identity, and invites us to rediscover strength we didn’t know we had. Listeners will be reminded that feeling the weight of loss doesn’t mean they’re not healing it simply means their love was real. You'll walk away knowing that grief is not weakness, but evidence of deep connection, and that healing on your own timeline is valid. Because grief doesn’t have a deadline—and neither do you.

Learn why emotional discipline is your greatest flex, how to stay anchored when others are chaotic, and how choosing your own energy is an act of self-respect. It’s not about being passive—it’s about being powerful. Let’s unplug and rise higher.
