In this powerful episode of Chaos, Clarity, and Confidence: Finding YOU Again, Victoria sits down with Meichle Latham, Coach and Counselor, to explore something most people never realize:

👉 What we call stress or burnout is often unprocessed grief.

Grief doesn’t always come from loss. It can come from unmet expectations, toxic workplaces, family-of-origin pressures, identity shifts, and the quiet exhaustion of living out of alignment with who you truly are.

Meichle shares how grief commonly presents as anxiety, overwhelm, depression, and burnout — especially in midlife — and how healing begins with acceptance, intentional self-investment, and designing days that actually fit your values and energy.

This conversation is grounding, honest, and deeply affirming for anyone who feels like they’re “holding it together” but secretly running on empty.
