"Grief isn't always about losing what was. Sometimes it's grieving what you thought would be."

What happens when grief collides with personality, parenting, and identity?

Today I'm joined by Enneagram teacher, author, and Type-ish founder Tyler Zach for a conversation about infertility, adoption, parenting through unexpected challenges, and the grief of letting go of the futures we imagined.

Together, we explore how personality shapes the way we grieve, why loss often looks different inside relationships, and what it means to honor grief without trying to fix it.

In this episode, we talk about:

How personality shapes the grieving process
Infertility, adoption, and parenting through loss
Grieving unmet expectations for ourselves and our children
Shame, achievement, and the Type 3 experience
Identity shifts and leaving ministry
Why grief looks different for different people
What it means to let go and move forward with honesty
