About this episode

Breakups can be devastating and can feel really lonely. Many of us carry guilt, shame, and sadness. Most of the time we do not know how to process those emotions so instead, we find ways to hide and numb our feelings. I know I've had some toxic breakups in my past which helped me learn some valuable lessons. In this episode, I will talk about my recent breakup and the valuable lessons I've learned thru my healing. 

If you are going thru a breakup or a divorce (I've had one of those also) You are not alone and all your emotions are valid.
