Slowing Down Enough to Feel & Grieve
About this episode
Kate Hastings discusses the difference between understanding and grieving, sharing her personal journey of healing and self-discovery.
For most of my life, I thought I was healing because I understood what happened. What I've realized is that understanding and grieving are not the same thing. In this episode, I share the life I didn't have, the survival adaptations that shaped me, and the hidden cost of carrying pain for decades without fully processing it. I talk about hyper-independence, people-pleasing, achievement, grief, identity, and the ways I mistook survival strategies for who I was. I share how slowing down created space to acknowledge what was lost, reconnect with myself, and ask a deeper question: Who am I underneath everything I had to become to survive? This is a conversation about grief, healing, faith, and finally putting down the weight I was never meant to carry.
