She deconstructs the myth that there is a &quot;correct&quot; way to grieve, describing it instead as a messy, unpredictable, and often non-linear experience.&amp;nbsp;Women can feel immense pressure to perform their sorrow - worrying if they are crying too much, too little, or moving on too quickly. Wendy challenges the &quot;grief influencers&quot; and the flood of unsolicited advice that follows loss, urging listeners to ignore the word &quot;should.&quot; She shares how her own experiences with grief reordered her priorities, taught her that aging is a gift, and showed her that it is okay to evolve into a different version of yourself after a loss. This episode is a permission slip to stop comparing your healing to a checklist or a spiritual competition. It is a reminder that grief is not a problem to be fixed, but an experience to be lived at the unique pace of your own heart.
