Summary
When heartbreak hits, it can feel unbearable, like you'll never stop hurting, never find love again, and that maybe the problem is you. In this episode, I sit down with Braveheart alumni Anne, who knows that feeling all too well. After her breakup, she was consumed by fear, self-doubt, and the thought that she wasn't enough. But everything shifted when she learned one powerful concept "I'm allowed to." This simple reframe helped her release the weight of "I should" and "I have to," and instead step into permission. Permission to not miss him, permission to move on, and permission to live her own life fully. If you've ever felt stuck in the loop of pain, wondering what's wrong with you, Anne's story and the mindset shift she shares will give you the exact perspective you need to take back your power and start moving forward.
