Happy For Your Friends but Hurting For Yourself — When Your Friends Are in a Season You're Not [SOLO Episode]
Right now, it seems like everyone is pregnant. And just writing that sentence takes me back to the years when everyone around me was getting engaged, buying houses, and starting families.
Meanwhile, I was starting a business and quietly wondering if I was the only one not following the same path. And of course I wasn't, but that didn't make it any less hard.
In this episode, I'm getting into the very real, very human feeling of being on a different timeline than your friends. We don't talk about this enough, and I think we should.
In this episode, I’m talking about:
The Christmas I was convinced I was getting engaged
Why grief and joy can coexist, and all the forms grief actually takes
Why you're allowed to have the "but" and who you should be sharing it with
Not putting all your eggs in one basket when it comes to friendship, and finding your people for each season you're in
Protecting your peace at milestone events while still showing up for the people you love
The milestones you're discounting because you're too focused on the ones you feel like you're missing
