Forbidden Grief - Part 1: Leaving a Life You Chose
Sep 7, 202654 minS2
Offered in long-form, this episode asks what happens when you choose a life you've always dreamed of... and quietly begin to grieve the one you've left behind? In this deeply personal conversation, Faye explores what we've come to call Forbidden Grief - the losses that somehow feel difficult to acknowledge because, from the outside, everyone assumes you're living the dream. Together we explore identity, independence, silence, competence, belonging and the paradox that it is possible to feel profound gratitude for a new life while still mourning the old one. This is not simply a conversation about sailing. It is a conversation about change, transition and the hidden emotional cost of becoming someone new - a white belt again.
