Grief isn’t just about loss — it’s about transformation. Sometimes, it’s not grieving a person… but a version of life you thought you’d have.

In this episode, I explore the softer, messier side of alchemy — where we’re asked to release our expectations, surrender what’s out of alignment, and make space for what wants to unfold instead. I share personal reflections on parenting, co-creation, and compromise, and how listening to our children can become its own form of wisdom when we let them mirror back what we’ve taught them.

We dive into:

The alchemy of grieving the life you imagined

Acceptance vs. control — finding peace in “what is”

How our children often become our greatest teachers

Taking intentional action as we age to align with health, vitality, and longevity

The patterns we carry… and the ones we choose to break

Grief has its own rhythm. Sometimes it burns. Sometimes it softens us. But always, it transforms us — if we let it.

This is Inspired Perpetual Alchemy. 

I know things can be challenging. 

Keep creating alchemy. 

You got this Alchemist. 

With love, 

Lizzie
