In this episode of Grab Your Light, Lauren reflects on relief as the unexpected sense of lightness that can surface after a breakup, separation, or divorce. Drawing from her own experience, she explores why relief can feel confusing or even uncomfortable, especially when it coexists with grief, sadness, or loss.
This conversation centers on permission: allowing yourself to acknowledge relief without guilt, explanation, or self-correction. Rather than questioning what relief “means,” this episode invites listeners to honor it as a valid emotional response — one that often signals safety, clarity, or the release of prolonged emotional strain.
This episode continues the Season 1 emotional arc by naming relief as part of healing, not as an endpoint, but as a moment of breath and recognition along the way.
