Everyone talks about the glow-up… but what about what you have to let go of to grow?

In this episode of The Gutsy Podcast, I’m joined by transformational coach, speaker, and author Sabine Gedeon for a real, raw conversation about what most people don’t talk about during personal and professional growth: grief, identity loss, and emotional unraveling.

We explore how true transformation often requires letting go of relationships, versions of ourselves, or long-held roles that no longer fit — and how grief isn’t just about death, it’s about detachment from what once defined you.

In this episode, we explore:

The grief we don’t talk about during growth
Why losing parts of yourself is often part of becoming yourself
How leaders can create space for emotional processing
The identity crisis that comes with personal reinvention
Why honoring your feelings is the most powerful move you can make

If you’ve been walking through a season of change that feels both exciting and hard, this episode is the reminder that you’re not broken — you’re evolving.
