Identity shifts are a natural and inevitable part of being human, yet they often arrive with emotional weight we don’t expect. Whether you’re becoming a parent, navigating a breakup, stepping into a new career, healing from trauma, or simply evolving into a version of yourself that feels more aligned, identity transitions can stir a quiet grief. This grief isn’t a sign that you’re doing something wrong. It’s a sign that something important is changing inside you.

Life transitions have a way of shaking the ground beneath us. Even when we’ve chosen the change, even when we’re excited for what’s coming next, transition can feel like living between two worlds.
