120. Embracing Darkness and Unpacking Grief: Mourning the Life We Thought We'd Live

Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 120 Sometimes, whether slowly or all at once, you realize that your life is not and will never be what you thought it would be. Even if it is more beautiful than you thought possible, even if you are more fulfilled than you could have imagined, even if you wouldn’t take that first dream life back for all the money in the world, you eventually need to grieve the life you fought so hard for… the life you’ll never have and maybe never had. EPISODE 120 TOPICS: - Why I’ll never mourn Brian, and how, in many ways, my sister Courtney is still here too - The most helpful way to revisit a life that you mourn but don’t want back is to explore timelines and what to meditate on to explore them - Shifting timelines and the ‘quantum leap’ LINKS: The Path Back to You When you feel like you're losing your mind, I’m here to help you restore your soul. In “The Path Back to You” I share with you my own personal story of struggle, trauma, etc. as a sacred offering. My hope is that through my story, you can better see yourself. I share with you my darkest moments and the steps I took to find my light– the light I had dimmed for most of my life. Throughout all the heartache I’ve endured, I’ve finally found peace. And I want to share my roadmap with you. And just for my podcast listeners, use code PATH15 for 15% off.
