What does it really feel like to be out of alignment, and why can letting go of something you love still bring grief?

In this personal and unfiltered reflection, I share the difference between being in and out of alignment through my own experience of letting go of the dance school I built and led for two decades.

It was not a failure. It was an identity, a community and a version of my life that I had outgrown. Releasing it meant facing a kind of grief that is rarely talked about.

In this episode, I explore:

The difference between being in and out of alignmentWhy leaving something you love can still feel like lossThe grief that comes with a change of identityWhat I understood afterwards, and how creativity helped me find clarity

If you are questioning a role, a career, a business or a version of yourself that no longer fits, I hope this reminds you that grief does not mean you made the wrong choice. Sometimes it simply means something mattered.
