Breakup Coach Dorothy
About this episode

Join us as we delve into the complexities of secondary grief, exploring the myriad losses that accompany breakups and divorces. Beyond the initial heartache lies a landscape of secondary losses—shattered dreams, financial instability, and fractured social networks. But amidst the pain, there is resilience, as we uncover the concept of secondary gains: the hidden opportunities and newfound freedoms that emerge from loss. Through heartfelt stories and insightful coaching, we navigate the delicate balance of acknowledging our losses while embracing the potential for growth and transformation. So, grab your journal and prepare to journey with us through the depths of grief to the heights of healing.

And remember, Braveheart, your path to a brighter future begins with a single step—join us for our upcoming 5-day How to Get Over Your Ex training during Valentine's Day week and discover the power of reclaiming your joy and vitality.
