Giving Yourself Permission To Grieve

3

Someone asked me why I write so much about grief when I’m a Moonshot Mentor. In this week’s podcast, I dive deep into answering that question. I talk about how to use “meaning” and “agency” as a way to keep moving forward in achieving your moonshot despite feeling loss along the way. Sneak peek: the hard truth is that dreams and grief go hand in hand. 

Read the full written post of this podcast.

Show Notes:

  • Check out Grief is Love’s Sidekick as a kissing cousin blog to this podcast.  

  • Agency is discovering a sense of control over events and outcomes. When a dream hits a stumbling block or dies, we lose our sense of agency.

  • As humans, we are meaning making machines. When a dream hits a stumbling block or dies, we create meaning. That meaning can be helpful or hurtful.
