There’s a stage in personal growth that most people try to move past as quickly as possible.

Grief.

Not the kind people expect… but the kind that shows up when you start seeing your life clearly. When you realize how much you’ve been carrying. When you recognize where you’ve been overextending, overgiving, or slowly drifting away from yourself.

In this episode of Identity Restored, Brandy explores Stage 4 of identity restoration: Grief—the stage that many people avoid, and the exact reason so many stay stuck looping instead of fully stepping into a new identity.

This is where self-awareness deepens. Where self-respect begins to rise. And where the old version of you starts to release its grip.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re in between who you were and who you’re becoming… and something inside you feels heavy, emotional, or unresolved—this episode will help you understand why.

Inside this episode:

• Why grief is a necessary part of identity change
• What happens when grief is avoided
• How emotional integration creates real transformation
• The connection between grief and coherence
