In this heartfelt episode of the Boundary Breakers Collective, host Helena Demuynck welcomes Angela Dunn Cartledge from Tennessee. Angela, a dedicated grief coach and founder of Been There Done That LLC, shares her profound journey through grief and transformation.

Drawing from her personal experiences and professional expertise, Angela explores the broader definitions of grief, emphasizing that it extends beyond the loss of loved ones to include the loss of relationships, dreams, careers, and a sense of security.

Together, Helena and Angela delve into the importance of reframing our personal narratives, embracing the dynamic nature of identity, and the courage required to evolve despite societal judgments.

1. Expanding the Definition of Grief:

   • Grief isn't limited to the loss of a person or pet; it also encompasses the loss of relationships, dreams, careers, safety, and security.
   • Acknowledging these diverse forms of grief is crucial for healing and personal growth.

2. Reframing Our Stories:

   • Instead of letting negative experiences define us, we can choose to integrate both positive and negative aspects into a balanced narrative.
   • Rewriting our stories helps in creating a harmonious self-view and fosters resilience.

3. Dynamic Nature of Identity:

   • Our identity is not static; it evolves over time based on our experiences and choices.
   • Embracing change and transformation is essential, even when facing judgment from others.

4. Non-Linear Grieving Process:

   • Grief involves ups and downs and isn't a straight path.
   • Practicing self-compassion and taking small, consistent steps forward can aid in navigating through grief.

5. The Power of Sharing Stories:

   • Sharing personal stories of grief creates a safe space for vulnerability and healing.
   • Angela's podcast serves as a platform for others to express their grief and find community support.

6. Overcoming Fear of Judgment:

   • Fear of judgment and self-criticism can hinder personal transformation.
   • Choosing to evolve despite these fears is a boundary-breaking act that leads to personal fulfillment.
