Heartbreak can feel like grieving a version of your life that no longer exists — and in many ways, it is a form of grief. In this episode, I’m opening up about what it really looks like to heal after a breakup, not just emotionally, but neurologically and spiritually too.

We’ll talk about why breakups feel like a death, how grief often gets overlooked in conversations around love and loss, and the role self-love plays in the healing process. I’ll also break down what’s actually happening in your brain post-breakup and why creating new routines, celebrating small wins, and practicing “no contact” can be such powerful tools for moving forward.

Whether you’re in the thick of it or on the other side, this episode is your reminder that healing takes time, community matters, and you’re allowed to feel joy again. You’ll also hear why courting yourself and finding pleasure—yes, even in the smallest ways—is one of the most beautiful ways to come back home to you.

If you’re navigating heartbreak right now, I hope this conversation makes you feel seen, supported, and a little more whole.
