Ever feel like something is off, but you're not sure what?

Like everything in life seems to be going well, and there's really no reason why you should be feeling this way, but it's nagging.

You should be grateful for your life, but you just can't shake the feeling that something isn't right.

This is an awkward fall, because you didn't trip or slip. Nothing bad happened to you. Nobody pushed you down. You just simply want to crumple to the ground where you are and voluntarily fall down.

Join us in this episode of Shattered to Unbreakable as we dissect those moments when everything seems to be as it should, but it really feels like something's not right.

You might feel like you should be grateful, like you should stop complaining, or just play dazed and confused. What you really need is time to sit in this space and figure out what is left to discover about yourself that you don't know yet.

This could be your greatest moment.

Instead of pushing these uncomfortable feelings aside and burying them deep inside, you sit here and feel it.

This will lead you to a path of immense self-discovery and a complete leveling up in your life.

But if you don't... if you satiate with distractions, push it away, ignore it, or pretend it doesn't exist... it will lead you to a depressing place of quiet desperation and silent suffering that it will be hard to escape from, and will infiltrate every part of your life, relationships, spirituality and health.

Listen in and take these three helpful tips on how to get through those uncomfortable moments by exploring the new message that will have you living on a whole new level!

Stay Sparkly, Sweet Sisters!

**TRIGGER WARNING**

The contents of this episode contains painful and heavy language and topics. Please listen with caution if you are in a vulnerable state of mind and consult a mental health professional for help.

In this episode, we discuss the heavy topics of loss and grief, specifically focusing on miscarriage, the loss of a loved one, and death by suicide. I share my personal experience of having a miscarriage and the complex emotions that come with it as well as the loss of someone dear to me, and my struggles with suicidal ideation.

We address the stages of grief and the importance of allowing oneself to feel and process each stage. And of course, I am always an advocate of the need to be gentle with yourself and seek support during the grieving process.

Stay Sparkly, Sweet Sister.
