Summary

In this episode I break down the three biggest mistakes people make when navigating a breakup—and how to avoid them so you don’t repeat the same painful patterns. I share why leaving the door open keeps you stuck, how failing to prioritize your healing sabotages your self-worth, and why allowing others to dictate the terms of connection robs you of the love you actually want. This conversation is a wake-up call to stop self-abandoning, reclaim your power, and walk through the breakup as the portal of transformation it truly is.
