from The Vulnerability Project Podcast · host Kass Gomez
After four months away, I’m finally back, and this episode is as real and raw as it gets.I didn’t just take a break… I had to step away to heal.In this episode, I open up about everything that’s happened behind the scenes, from navigating grief after losing a loved one, to processing the end of an 11-year relationship, to realizing I was on the brink of burnout and still stuck in survival mode.I share what it felt like to sit in the “nothingness”, that quiet space where everything feels heavy, unclear, and uncertain… yet deeply necessary for healing.We talk about:What happens when you lose yourself in a relationshipThe reality of avoidant partners and lack of closureThe emotional weight of grief, shame, and self-reflectionComing out of fight-or-flight and regulating your nervous systemWhy slowing down is sometimes the most powerful thing you can doRelearning who you are… and what you actually wantIf you’ve ever felt stuck, heartbroken, exhausted, or like you don’t even recognize yourself anymore… this episode is for you.This is your reminder:-You’re allowed to pause-You’re allowed to feel- And you’re allowed to find yourself againI’m still healing.
