Stop Trying to Be Chosen. Choose Yourself. Part 1 with Lydia Mae

from The Break-Up Diet

Breakups have a way of making you feel like you’ve been unpicked. Unchosen. Replaced.And suddenly you’re left wondering… who the hell am I without them?In Part 1, I’m joined again by Lydia Mae, breakup coach and Reiki therapist, and we’re talking about what really happens when a relationship ends. Not just losing them, but losing parts of yourself along the way. Why we tie our worth to being chosen, how we slowly abandon ourselves in love, and what it actually takes to rebuild self-trust after heartbreak.We talk about the truth that people come into our lives for a reason, a season, or a lifetime, and how accepting that can be the difference between staying stuck and moving forward.Because here’s the thing: knowledge is power. When you understand your patterns, your attachments, and your emotional triggers, you stop blaming yourself and start growing.And maybe the most important reminder of all, your body is your biggest compass. When you learn to listen to it, you stop chasing what isn’t meant for you.If you’ve ever felt “not enough,” stayed too long, or lost yourself trying to keep someone… this episode is your wake-up call.Press play.
