Grief, Growth, and Becoming: What Loss Taught Me About Confidence, Identity, and Healing

The Confident Woman® is brought to you by:

The Confidence Blueprint

Your first step to break free from self-doubt and start walking boldly in your God-given purpose.

What do you do when life breaks open and you're not the same woman you were the day before?

How do you keep showing up—when the pressure to perform meets the pain you can’t even explain?

This week’s podcast was not a polished production.
It was a pause. A holy moment. A reckoning.
It was me, letting go of the performance and showing up in the rawest truth I’ve ever shared.

If you’ve ever experienced loss—whether a person, a season, or a version of yourself—then you know: grief isn’t something we get over.
It’s something we walk through.

This week, I’m inviting you to walk with me.

This is what becoming looks like:

Crying in the car, then recording the episode anyway.
Sitting with God, asking, “What now?”
Trusting that this breaking… may be the beginning.

Confidence isn’t pretending to be strong.
It’s choosing to stay open, even when it hurts.


Points to Ponder

  • Where in your life are you performing instead of being honest?
  • What version of you are you grieving—and what’s being rebuilt?
  • What if the breakdown you’re in is sacred ground for becoming?

Scripture for the Soul

“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” — Psalm 34:18
