Grieving a Dream: From Resistance to Acceptance

Two years ago, I sat in a doctor's office and was told that running a marathon, a dream I'd never even said out loud, probably wasn't in my future. What followed wasn't an immediate pivot or a glow-up. It was denial, resistance, grief, and a lot of failed attempts to prove the doctor wrong. In this episode, I get honest about what it really feels like when a dream gets taken from you. Not the version where everything works out and you find something better. The part before that. The messy, uncomfortable middle that nobody talks about. We don't give ourselves enough permission to grieve the things we lose , especially when they feel too small to count. This episode is for anyone who's ever had a goal redirected by circumstances outside their control, and needed someone to say: it's okay that it hurts. Have you had to reimagine a dream?
