You Can't Outrun Grief With Sunny Joy McMillan

After "unhitching" herself from her high-conflict marriage, Sunny Joy McMillan ran... far. After three years of running, she was hit with massive grief for her ex-husband and the life she no longer lived. We're talking about the losses we create ourselves (like chosen breakups, moves, and job changes) and how you can never really outrun grief.

This hit so close to home that it almost felt like it was created just for me, but I think that's also the point of the story--you have to be open to doing (or even just trying) something different if you're not living your best and most authentic life, because you'll never know what might be possible if you don't even try. I particularly appreciated the part that spoke about how making a temporary change to try and live a more peaceful life is just that, it's temporary, and you can always return to feeling miserable if you want to. It's far less scary to think about something as temporary vs permanent, and the final decision is still yours to make. Thank you so much for this incredibly valuable and thought provoking episode 🙏

This was good to hear. I myself have done the GRM 7 times now, as I host the group process in my home (well, I look forward to to returning to it after this current fiasco). I am currently doing one on one of my two dogs that passed away this month but I have done my divorce my business, my business partner, family members and friends who have passed and “updated” relationships with each of my three children and my twin sister. I even did the process on myself. Obviously, I think it’s a tremendous program in that woman who is certified to run it is a dear friend of mine and does fantastic and compassionate facilitating. Thank for sharing your stories. 🙏
