The Authenticated Life | Sharon Roshell

In this tender and soul-honest episode, Sharon Roshell opens up about a type of grief many of us carry silently—the grief that comes when a relationship ends without warning, closure, or understanding. Whether it’s a friendship that faded, a mentor who grew distant, or a loved one who became unreachable, this conversation is for anyone carrying the ache of relational loss.

Sharon walks us through six heartfelt truths she’s learned from her own journey, offering wisdom and clarity for those navigating the same terrain. You’ll hear reflections on why some relationships end, how to let go with grace, and why you don’t need to prove your worth to those who walked away.

She closes with powerful journal prompts to help you name your grief, reflect on what you’re still holding, and recognize the new love trying to enter your life.
