Second, grief reshapes identity.

It doesn't erase who we were.

It expands who we're becoming.

And lastly, becoming is not reinvention.

It's remembering.

It's returning to the parts of you that life pushed aside.

If you want to go even deeper into the ideas that we explore here, join me on theignitedlife.net, my Substack community.

You'll find weekly reflections, extended insights,

and a companion guide for today's episode.

Speaking of which, next week, we continue our journey into the season of becoming with Anne Libera, where we explore the art of improvisation, identity play, and why reinvention works best when you stop trying to control every step.

Until then, remember, becoming isn't something you force, it's something you allow.

It begins with listening, it unfolds with courage, and it accelerates the moment you decide your next chapter is worth writing.

I'm John Miles, and you've been Passion Struck.

Now go start the revolution.

Coming up next on Passion Struck.

Welcome to Passion Struck.

I'm your host, John Myles.

This is the show where we explore the art of human flourishing and what it truly means to live like it matters.

Each week, I sit down with changemakers, creators, scientists, and everyday heroes to decode the human experience and uncover the tools that help us lead with meaning, heal what hurts, and pursue the fullest expression of who we're capable of becoming.

Whether you're designing your future, developing as a leader, or seeking deeper alignment in your life, this show is your invitation to grow with purpose and act with intention.
