❊ When something ends (and you’re not sure what comes next)


Hey Reader — flagging this for you because it’s GOOD.

If you're like me, then life’s full right now.

Whether you're moving through a big transition, sitting with something unresolved, or feeling the quiet pull of change, this blog might meet you right where you are.

I just posted it and it’s one I know I’ll return to myself.

It’s called: “How Grief Changes Your Identity, Beliefs, and Mindset,” but don’t let the title scare you off. This isn’t just about the loss of a person (although that was my catalyst for writing it). It’s about the invisible grief that shows up when a season ends, a relationship shifts, or an old version of you no longer fits.

Here’s what I explore:

  • What grief can reveal about who you are (and who you’re becoming)
  • How identity, beliefs, values, and even your environment shift during loss
  • Why your patterns in hard seasons aren't failures, but signals

You can bookmark it, skim the section that speaks to you, or come back when the timing feels right.

I wrote it between school drop-off and client calls, feeling that quiet tug of something’s different. If you’re carrying that too, I hope this helps you name what’s shifting.

Always in your corner,
Kourtney

Hey Reader, quick question: What’s the one thing in December that drains you the fastest, the thing you wish you could step back from, even briefly, so you could breathe again? If your shoulders dropped or you exhaled when you thought of it… that matters. I hear this all month from moms who say: “I’m holding it all together, but I feel lost inside.” And when we sit with that for a moment, something softer usually rises to the surface: “I know I need to feel more tuned in to myself and my...

Hey there, Reader, Most businesses are in go-mode this week. I’m… not. Here’s what these next few days actually look like for me: No new launches. No flash sales. Some behind-the-scenes building.

Hey there Reader, I used to white-knuckle my way through the holidays, saying yes to everything, running on fumes, and wondering why I couldn't remember any of it. Not anymore.
