I thought I would be further by now.

I Thought I’d Be Somewhere Else By Now
How to grieve the life you expected without giving up on the life that is still available to you.
A live conversation supporting Black women who are looking at their life, career, relationships, finances, or identity and quietly thinking, “This is not where I thought I would be.”
A conversation supporting Black women
Wednesday, October 7 · 7:15 to 8:15 PM Central · Live on Zoom · Complimentary
You are allowed to grieve what you expected and still choose what comes next.
If you have been thinking this quietly
Maybe you are not afraid to start over. Maybe you are grieving where you thought you would be.
There is a particular kind of grief that comes from realizing the life you planned is not the life you are living.
You can be accomplished, responsible, loved, supported, and still need to mourn the version of your life you thought would exist by now.
The relationship. The title. The business. The money. The family. The confidence. The certainty. The version of you who was supposed to have figured it all out.
Grief does not mean the dream is over. Sometimes it means the timeline, identity, or expectation attached to it is.
The words women are already using
If one of these sounds like you, you are in the right room.
I know what I want. I am just taking some time to get there.
I feel like I am scrambling.
I keep second-guessing myself.
I am wondering if I am too old to pivot.
I have been in survival mode and did not even know it.
What we will do together
This is not an “it is never too late” pep talk.
Encouragement matters. But sometimes you need more than reassurance that you can begin again. You need space to decide what is actually ending, what still belongs to you, and who you are becoming now.
01
Name what you are actually grieving
Separate the life you expected from the life you are living so you can stop calling grief failure.
02
Separate the dream from the deadline
Decide what you still genuinely want, what changed, and what was tied to an old timeline or expectation.
03
Meet the woman who leads next
Identify the identity, standards, and decisions that belong to your next chapter instead of rebuilding from the old one.
The turning point
Starting over is not the problem. Starting over without deciding who you are now is.
If the old version of you keeps choosing the next job, relationship, standard, schedule, and sacrifice, the scenery can change while the pattern stays the same.
The work is not just “What do I want next?” It is also: Who needs to lead the life I am building next?

If you want to go deeper after the conversation
Once you know what you are no longer building around, you get to decide who leads next.
This conversation helps you name what you are grieving and what still matters. Identity Recode is the private next step for women ready to deliberately rebuild the identity, standards, and decisions that will lead the next chapter.
