Ep. 311 - The life I thought I lost

Breakup Coach Dorothy
About this episode

If you can't stop thinking about the life you were supposed to have with your ex, the love, the home, the family, this episode will shift everything. Dorothy shares a personal story about realizing she did get the life she once imagined… just in a version that was richer, deeper, and more aligned than she ever could've planned. Inside, she helps you understand why it feels like everything you wanted was stolen from you, and how to see the missing piece that's actually being built for you right now. If you've been scared you'll never get what you lost, this conversation will remind you why your story isn't over, it's just getting a better rewrite.
