"Welcome to Own Your Tomorrow" E.X.I.T.
Let's be honest: Advance Care Planning, Wills and Testaments, and even sharing your journey and story aren't exactly the sexiest items on your adulting to-do list. However, they should be one of the first things we do as adults. We have an app to help you be better prepared, empower, and bring self-awareness. E.X.I.T. (Education, Xenial, Integrity, Today). Welcome to Own Your Tomorrow, our blog section; let's live wisely.

The 4 Phases of Change and How They Show Up in Grief
Grief is not just about loss - it’s about the changes that loss brings. When we experience grief, we’re not just mourning what we’ve lost; we’re also grieving what will never be the same. Our identity, routines, relationships, and sense of safety often shift overnight. And with change comes resistance, confusion, and eventually… transformation. At Nichole Folino Coaching, I use a holistic approach to help women move through grief in a way that honors the mind, body, and soul. One of the frameworks I gently introduce in my sessions is the four phases of change - denial, resistance, exploration, and integration. These aren’t linear steps, and they don’t follow a predictable timeline. But they do show up in almost every grief journey, whether we recognize them or not. Let’s walk through each one and explore how grief and healing unfold within them.
