   Featured Voice: Donielle Young | The Messy Middle: Grief, Growth & the Space In Between

   What happens after the initial shock of loss, when everyone expects you to keep going but you’re still trying to figure out who you are now?In this Featured Voice conversation, I’m joined by Donielle Young, also known as The Grief Disruptor™, for an honest conversation about grief, growth, identity, and the messy middle of healing after loss.After losing her husband to stage 4 colon cancer, Donielle found herself searching for someone who could show her how to do more than survive grief. She wanted to know how to THRIVE again.When she couldn’t find her, she became her.Together, we talk about what happens when grief changes not only your life, but your identity. We explore the relationships that change after loss, protecting your peace, allowing yourself to experience joy again, and why grieving and growing do not have to be mutually exclusive.Donielle also shares her G³ Framework: Grief → Grit → Glow Up, created to help people navigate the space between what they've lost and who they're becoming.We also unpack an important truth: gratitude should never require us to pretend life isn't hard. You can be thankful for what you had and still grieve what you lost. You can carry gratitude and grief at the same time.If you're grieving a person, relationship, career, dream, identity, or version of life you thought you'd have, this conversation is for you.💚 If something in this episode hits home, drop a 💚 in the comments. It's our way of saying, "I'm healing, I'm growing, and I'm showing up for me."🎙️ Featured Voice: Donielle Young — The Grief Disruptor™ Connect: @TheGriefDisruptor Explore the G³ Playbook and Donielle's resources through her Linktree https://linktr.ee/TheGriefDisruptor (https://linktr.ee/TheGriefDisruptor)Subscribe to the Room2Breathe Project for conversations about self-care, boundaries, healing, personal growth, and making room to become who you're becoming.#Grief #HealingAfterLoss #LifeAfterLoss #Room2Breathe #TheGriefDisruptor
