3 Reasons You Can't Get Over Your Ex

“Just because it didn’t last doesn’t mean it was never meant to be.” Lean in, Beloved, as we chat about something almost everyone has experienced… Heartbreak and the journey to move forward after. This episode is titled 3 Reasons You Can’t Get Over Your Ex, but that is where the struggle begins. Heartbreak is not something you “get over.” I’m sharing a perspective many people miss. We heal, we grow, and we move forward. We don’t fully get over being in love, sharing a life, and creating memories with someone we’ve felt a deep connection with. I know firsthand that the heartbreak struggle is real—and there are three main reasons why. If you have been wondering why it’s been so hard to heal and move forward from heartbreak, this is the conversation you need to have today. Takeaways We never really get over heartbreak—we heal and move forward. Heartbreak leaves lasting imprints on our hearts and minds. Going no contact is essential for healing after a breakup. Romanticizing a relationship can hinder the healing process. Closure is something you must give to yourself, not seek from others. Healthy distractions can help fill the void left by a breakup. Resetting your energy is crucial for moving forward. It's okay to take time to reclaim yourself after a relationship. The version of you in the relationship is not the same as now.
