FREE WELLNESS WORKSHOP: Grieving the Career You Expected
This 90-minute workshop offers a trauma-informed perspective on career grief and how professional identity becomes tied to self-worth. Participants will explore how unprocessed loss contributes to burnout and emotional overwhelm, and why grieving unmet expectations is a healthy, necessary process. Through guided reflection and experiential exercises, participants will gain practical tools to process career-related grief, regulate emotional intensity, and begin redefining success in ways that feel sustainable and aligned with their current values.
