Summary
Last week's episode helped you identify which stage of heartbreak you're in, this episode will show you what to actually do about it. One of the biggest mistakes people make after a breakup is using the wrong solution for the stage they're in, trying mindset work when their nervous system is still in survival mode, or trying to build a bigger life when they're still secretly attached to their ex. No wonder nothing sticks. In this episode, I walk you through the exact remedy that corresponds to each stage of heartbreak so you can stop guessing and start moving forward with the strategy that actually works for where you are right now. When you match the right solution to the right stage, healing speeds up dramatically and the path to being truly free from your ex becomes much clearer. If you're ready to stop spinning your wheels and understand the next step in your healing process, this episode will give you the roadmap.
