Do You Mourn Your Past or Do You Champion Who You Are Today? | Episode 131

About this episode

The episode explores the challenges of mourning the past while embracing personal change and growth.

Do you ever look back at the younger you and feel sadness?  Are you afraid to make changes now because it is comfortable staying in this place, even though it makes you mourn what could have been? The journey to start changing some of the habits and hurts in which you came from can be tricky. Some of those old ways are easy on some level, and changing everything around can spin your head!  Don’t be afraid of change! Let’s explore what happens when you start the process of getting into a healthy place but wonder if it’s too hard or too scary with the “unknowns”.  P.S. It’s okay to cry over things that didn’t work out.  My book, UnMothered No More , is now live on Amazon! Go check it out today: https://a.co/d/06GruRTZ Let’s Connect!
