"The only way through is through."
There's no shortcut through grief. No way to go around it, over it, or pretend it didn't happen. And yet, our culture teaches us to avoid it at all costs.
In this clip from our conversation, Nadia Ahrens shares what she's learned from her own devastating loss of her 8-year old son and what she tells her clients every day: the only way through is through. Whether you're grieving the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or a friendship that's gone—the path to deep healing requires you to actually walk it.
The magic pill everyone wants? It's going through whatever you're going through. When you resist, when you kick the can down the road, you're not avoiding the pain—you're just collecting interest on it. And that interest compounds.
If you want healing that lasts, if you want to transform your darkest experiences into wisdom, you have to be willing to feel it all. To cry. To sit in it. To let yourself be there.
