Do you ever feel like you’re falling behind in life?

You’re not the only one quietly wondering about the timeline.

In this episode, Ashani Dante and clinical psychologist Dr. Anastasia Hronis explore the “quiet grief” that can arise when life looks different from the one you once planned.

You'll also learn:
How to embrace "identity plasticity"
Practical ways to distinguish between being "behind" your own goals versus someone else's
Why it’s valid to mourn the "alternate version" of your life
How to balance self-compassion with taking steps toward the things you can control
