DID YOU BURN A BRIDGE OR CLEAR A PATH?

Ashley Corbo
About this episode
Loss is hard...especially when you're someone who's a little too familiar with it. Whether it's another friendship breakup, another relationship that didn't work out, or another job that you've been let go from, when something ends, it feels personal. You start to ask yourself, is it me? Am I the problem?

In today's episode, I talk about reframing that mindset. Thinking about loss as redirection and growth. That breakup, that fallout, that sudden ending...maybe it happened to redirect you. Maybe that thing falling apart is what cleared the space for something better to come together.
