Why Heartbreak Lives in Your Body: Nervous System Healing After a BreakupHeartbreak lives in your body. It shows up in your sleep, your appetite, your energy, and how safe you feel in your own skin, long after the relationship ends. In this conversation, breakup coach Sarah Curnoles joins Lindsey to explore why heartbreak is a nervous-system event and what it takes to heal in a way that includes the body instead of bypassing it.Together they unpack the science of why a breakup physically hurts, the chemistry behind the post-breakup slump, and why on-again, off-again relationships feel so hard to leave. Sarah shares her From Hot Mess to Badass framework, the difference between expression and communication, how to give yourself closure when someone ghosts you, and how grief, when you let it move, becomes fuel for who you are becoming.
