(Rewind): Just Broke Up? This Conversati...

MATTHEW HUSSEY
About this episode

A huge number of relationships that end, should end. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But how do we know if ‘ours’ should have ended. We leave with a giant question mark: “Did I just lose the person I was supposed to be with?” ⠀ That lack of closure is a horrible feeling that eats away at us. We don’t always get perfect closure. But there is a way of being proactive about getting peace of mind if you feel like you have someone who is worth fighting for. ⠀ It’s through a simple conversation, and I tell you how to have it in this video. ⠀ And here’s the good news - whatever happens, you and I are going to move into this next chapter of our lives stronger. (Massive thanks to @rayna.greenberg@ashhess and the @girlsgottaeatpodcast for making this conversation possible!)
