Are you grieving a version of your life that never happened? This is an open letter for the woman mourning what could've been, not the person, but the dream. The version of your life you built in your heart that God never showed up for the way you planned. If you've ever stayed loyal to a fantasy longer than was good for you, this letter was written for you.
Faith, healing, and emotional sobriety. After a six-year hiatus, Real with Melanie Podcast is back with the Open Letter series, six letters for Christian women navigating grief, codependency, toxic relationships, and the journey to emotional freedom and wholeness in Christ.
In this episode:
- Why letting go of a dream is harder than letting go of a person
- What faith, fear, and control actually look like from the inside
- Permission to grieve what never happened and start over without calling it failure
Mentioned in this episode:
