There's a particular kind of grief that comes with transition.

When who you were is no longer who you are.

When the vision you had for yourself and your life is no longer the one you are living.

When everything you are known for is no longer you.

It can come at different times.

When you get to the top of the ladder and realise you're on the wrong ladder.

When the relationship is not wrong and yet not right for you.

When your children leave the nest and no longer need you in the same way they did before.

Or when you had a vision for your self and your life and it doesn't quite work out that way. Or it does and yet it didnt bring the feelings you thought it would.

That underlying question of:

"If i'm not that then who am I?"

Grief. Loss. Shame.

The impact it has on your confidence.

I believe we all go through it at different seasons in different ways. It's not easy.

Yet what if, with the right support behind you, everything that's falling away is giving way... making space & giving rise to your best chapters yet.

The making of what will be your most aligned confidence & resilient version of you.

With even more joy & fulfilment? Isn't that the best kind of success?
