In today’s episode, we’re talking about the grief of becoming someone else - and why it almost never comes from failure, but from the good decisions that quietly reshape us. This isn’t about regret or wanting a different life; it’s about the versions of ourselves that don’t make it through marriage, responsibility, stability, or success - and the cost no one tells you to expect. We’ll break down why this kind of grief feels off-limits to name, how it shows up as restlessness instead of sadness, and why acknowledging it doesn’t mean you chose wrong. So grab a drink and let’s talk about the lives we built - and the parts of ourselves that made it possible, even if they didn’t get to come along.
