24. Still Sad, Still Dreaming: Reclaiming My Spark After Loss

In this episode of Manifest Action, I’m opening up about something deeply personal, the season of grief I’ve been walking through since losing my mum, and how, bit by bit, I’m beginning to reconnect with my dreams, my energy, and myself.

This isn’t a “bounce back” story. It’s about allowing. Allowing rest, sadness, slowness… and also allowing tiny glimmers of hope, growth, and purpose to return.

I share:

• The surprising goal that helped me start looking forward again

• Why future planning once felt impossible

• The journaling practice that helped me feel something good for the first time in a while

• A gentle reminder that your dreams don’t disappear — they wait

• How to know if what’s “getting in the way” is a genuine priority or a disguised excuse

You'll also hear a few of my favourite Best Possible Self-inspired journaling prompts, plus reflections on how to make gentle forward motion even in your hardest seasons.
