In this short bonus episode of The Lemon Tree Coaching Podcast, Dr. Allison Sucamele names a kind of grief that often goes unspoken: the grief of the love you thought you’d have by now.

Not the loss of a specific person, but the loss of a timeline. A season. A future you carried quietly alongside your growth, healing, and becoming. This episode gently explores what it means to mourn an imagined life without turning that grief into self-blame, failure, or doubt about your worth.

If you’ve ever found yourself thinking, I’m ready… so why hasn’t it happened yet? -this episode offers permission to grieve without rushing to fix, reframe, or explain the ache away. Because grief doesn’t need logic. It needs acknowledgment.

This is an episode for anyone holding both hope and sadness at once, for those learning that love is not a reward for doing everything “right,” and for the version of you who is still waiting, and still believing.
