Healing Heartbreak: 6 Steps To Get You B...

JB Copeland
About this episode

Your life just flipped. They left. You're at a loss. You feel rejected. Life doesn't make sense. The future you pictured vanished, and right now everything feels upside down.
This episode is about more than “moving on.” It’s about how to turn heartbreak into self-trust.

We’ll break down:

  • How anxious attachment makes us chase instead of heal.

  • 6 research-backed steps to shift from panic → peace.

  • The daily compass: “Am I bringing peace or anxiety?”

This isn’t cliché advice. It’s psychology, spirituality, and lived human truth to help you breathe again, rebuild steady, and realize: falling apart can mean falling into place.
