This episode is all about the heartbreak spiral—those messy, painful weeks after a breakup when nothing feels real and you're not sure how to be a person again.

We talk about:

• - Why breakups hit like emotional whiplash and why it’s okay to just not be okay

• - The loop of “what did I do wrong?” and how to stop feeding it

• - How to support a friend in heartbreak without rushing their healing or offering advice they didn’t ask for

• - The moment when self-love looks like crying on the floor with sad music, and why that’s still healing

• - What creative expression can unlock when you're heartbroken and cracked open

• - Why you can’t always trust your thoughts in the middle of grief (and who to borrow clarity from)

• - How this pain can actually lead you to a more honest version of yourself, if you let it

• This one’s for anyone sitting in the quiet after everything changed, whether you're grieving a person, a future, or the version of yourself you thought you’d be with them. You’re not too much, too broken, or too behind. You’re just in it. And that’s enough.
