5 Life-changing Lessons at 35: Grief, Growth, and Living With Intention

In this birthday episode of Life With Grief, I’m sharing five life lessons I’m still actively practicing as I turn 35! Lessons grief, age, motherhood, and lived experience have etched into me over time. These are things rooted in identity shifts, discernment, presence, and learning how to live a full life while carrying loss.

I’ve realized that I’ve gone through many deaths and rebirths in my life—once when my parents died, again when I became a mother, and in quieter ways as I continue to evolve into the truest version of myself.

We’ll dig into:
✨ Reflections on grief, identity shifts, and personal growth
✨ What it means to build a legacy beyond achievements
✨ How loss reshapes our relationship with time, presence, and purpose
✨ Why slowing down can be one of the most powerful choices we make

This episode is also an invitation to reflect on the footprint you’re leaving behind—not based on what you do, but how you do it.

I also share a special birthday announcement: the launch of my new Substack, Life Beyond Grief! It’s a space for the life that continues after everything changes. Not life without grief, but a life that keeps unfolding anyway.
