HEARTBREAK IS NOT A THING

Mafe Anzures
About this episode

Heartbreak feels like it breaks us, but what if it’s actually reshaping us? In this episode, we explore how loss, rejection, and endings aren’t signs of being broken but invitations to rebuild stronger. From the science of how heartbreak mirrors physical pain to the art of transforming cracks into gold, you’ll learn how to move through heartbreak with self-compassion, patience, and purpose.

If you’re healing from a breakup, a friendship ending, or any kind of loss, this conversation will remind you that you’re not ruined—you’re becoming. Tune in to discover how heartbreak can be the soil where new growth begins.

With love, Mafe
