Life Transitions: Why the Right Decision Can Still Bring Grief | Stacie Shifflett

Fan Mail: Tell Wendy how you're saying yes to yourself! When Stacie Shifflett sat down with Wendy, she was in the middle of a big change. She had just decided to sell her home on Siesta Key, her favorite place in the world, and the grief that followed caught her off guard. Wendy and Stacie talk about why a clear, aligned decision doesn’t always bring relief, how to make room for grief and even rage without getting stuck there, and why old feelings can resurface long after you thought you’d healed. Stacie, the founder of Modern Consciousness and author of Treasure Map to Joy, also shares why she believes disruption is not destruction. In this episode, they discuss: Why clarity rarely brings certainty right away, and how to take just the next step when you can’t see the rest of the path Making space for grief and rage after a change you chose, without shaming yourself or setting up camp there Why feelings from a divorce can resurface years later, and why Stacie sees that as a deeper layer of healing rather than a setback If you’ve made a decision you know is right and you’re surprised by how much it hurts, this conversation is a good place to start.
