Why does becoming who you want to be sometimes make you miss who you used to be?

You’re learning to respond differently, trust yourself, and make room for change. But nobody really prepares you for how unfamiliar it can feel, especially when the people around you are changing, too.

This week on Mindless Monday, I’m talking about growing pains through grief, perfectionism, marriage, parenting, and a deeper trust in God. I reflect on commemorating my dad’s death date, what a delayed video brought up about the expectations I put on myself, and learning to take responsibility without tearing myself down.

Can you trust God and still feel frustrated with the timing? Can you be growing and grieving at the same time? And how do you give yourself grace while learning a new way?

With a gentle grounding moment and some encouragement along the way, this episode is an invitation to acknowledge the effort you’re making, even where you’re still figuring things out.

Follow Mindless Monday for more conversations about real life, and share this episode with someone navigating a change of their own.
