Give Yourself Grace

[23] The Year That Changed Everything

In this solo episode, Grace reflects on the year that changed everything.  She shares how choosing herself required walking away from a loving seven year relationship and listening to a deeper inner truth she could no longer ignore. Grace opens up about a powerful spiritual awakening at a music and arts festival, the clarity it brought around freedom and alignment and what it means to be in the messy middle between endings and new beginnings.  She explores holding grief and growth at the same time, navigating a dark night of the soul and learning to sit with the emotions, instead of rushing to fix or numb them. This episode is an invitation to slow down, get honest with yourself and trust what your soul is asking for even when it burns the life you knew to the ground. Let it burn! Here are some key takeaways: * Choosing you is the greatest act of self love you could ever give yourself. * You can outgrow a life that once felt right even if nothing about it was broken. * Walking away from something good can be both deeply painful and deeply necessary. * The messy middle is a natural part of transformation not a sign that you are lost. * Grief and growth can exist simultaneously and neither cancel each other out. * You do not need to justify those choices that your soul understands. * Presence creates the space for your inner voice to become clear and unmistakable. * Feeling deeply is not a weakness, it is one of the greatest gifts of being human. * Giving yourself grace during times of transition is not avoidance, it is awareness. Give Yourself Grace is hosted by Grace Perry, a content creator, videographer and coach for women entrepreneurs who are ready to tell their story and lead from self-trust. The show is designed to help you deepen your self-awareness, embody your evolution and pursue success without abandoning yourself.

In this episode of Give Yourself Grace, Grace sits down with Anna Nichols, the founder of the spiritual business incubator, best-selling author and a leading voice using human design as a framework for building a business that feels aligned, sustainable, and energetically true to who you are. With a background in MBA-level strategy and more than 15 years in business development, Anna blends grounded structure with intuitive self-understanding to help entrepreneurs create businesses that feel like an extension of their purpose, not a performance.
