The Well Done Life

The Grief of Growth

Pamela Davis

Episode Description:

We talk a lot about freedom, boundaries, and choosing yourself—but we don’t talk enough about the grief that often comes first. In this episode, Pamela reflects on the quiet loss that can surface when you stop over-explaining, over-accommodating, and abandoning yourself to keep the peace. This conversation isn’t about blame or regret—it’s about compassion for who you had to be, and clarity about who you no longer need to be as you step into a new season.

In this episode, we explore:

  • Why growth can bring grief before relief
  • Letting go of silence and over-accommodation
  • Reframing anger as awareness
  • Honoring past versions of yourself without returning to them
  • Why survival strategies don’t belong in your next season
