Not All Grief Looks the Same—Let’s Redefine It Together 💡


Hello Reader,

Have you ever felt a sense of loss, even when no one around you seemed to understand?

Grief isn’t just about losing a loved one—it’s about losing anything that once brought you stability, purpose, or identity. And in our professional lives, these losses can be just as impactful as the personal ones.

👉 Have you experienced any of these career-related losses?

  • The loss of a job, promotion, or business opportunity
  • A shift in your career identity after retirement or stepping into a new role
  • Workplace friendships that faded when you changed jobs
  • Burnout that made you feel like you lost your passion
  • The loss of financial security or work stability
  • A toxic work environment that stole your confidence
  • The grief of leaving a dream behind to pursue something different

If any of this resonates with you, you’re not alone.

Join us for Life Changes & Loss, a safe and supportive conversation on navigating transitions, grief, and finding your way forward—professionally and personally.

📅 Date: March 18th
📍 Location: Virtual
