Permission to Want More” Do you know that wanting more isn’t selfish, but it’s sacred? Society has taught us to play small.

We’ve been conditioned to downplay our dreams, to confuse humility with limitation, and to see desire as greed. But what if wanting more is actually your soul asking for growth? Your desire isn’t greed; it’s guidance toward the life you’re meant to live. On this episode of Get a G.R.I.P. with Coach Elix, we’re exploring why...

Get a G.R.I.P. with Coach Elix

Grief isn’t always about death. Sometimes it’s about the dreams we outgrew, the relationships that changed, the expectations that never became reality, or the versions of ourselves we’ve had to let go of. Grief is love that has nowhere to go—and healing begins the moment we allow ourselves to feel it. On this episode, my co-host and husband, Steven the Medium, and I explore the invisible losses—and the power of honoring what we’ve quietly carried for too long. 💔 What loss have you carried quietly for too long?
