In this episode of Blooming Out Loud, Halie Rose Bloom dives into one emotion that shaped her year — disappointment. She opens up about an internship that broke her spirit more than it built her, friendships that faded, and family expectations that cracked under the light. With her signature honesty and humor, Halie turns personal heartbreak into a universal story of growth. She explores how disappointment can actually guide us — revealing what matters most, teaching us how to release what’s no longer serving us, and helping us move forward with more compassion. This episode is raw, real, and healing — a reminder that feeling disappointed doesn’t mean you failed; it means you cared deeply enough to try.
