Summary
Living your life just tiptoeing around your pain doesn't work, it's actually more miserable than it is to just experience the heartbreak of heartbreak. Learning to dive headfirst into this experience will transform your life by awakening the dull dead pain you've been carrying for far too long. On today's episode, I bring on my client Megan who talks about her experience of living and LEANING into her heartbreaks of life and coming out on the other side fully HEALED. She rewrote so many stories to end old patterns, got over her ex, dated healed, bought a new home, and SO MUCH MORE!
In this episode:
- What it's like to tip toe around your heartbreak pain
- How to live with "alive" pain
- Rewriting old stories and patterns, really doing the work
- Dating when healed
- From heartbroken and devastated to over her ex, new home, new boy, new vibes

| 0:32.3 | Hello, my beautiful brave hearts. I love you. So today I want to talk about a concept that really hit me this morning |
| 0:40.7 | on my walk I am super jazzed up and excited to talk to all of you about it so every morning I go on |
| 0:46.4 | this walk along the beach and I think about things and I really enjoy just kind of being there |
| 0:53.2 | sometimes I'll listen to a podcast. |
| 0:54.8 | Sometimes I'm just silent. But today, this morning, I was thinking about my client, Megan, |
| 1:00.1 | who you'll meet in just a moment. And one thing I realized when I was thinking about her was that |
| 1:05.6 | she really cracked open her pain and experienced her pain that was quote unquote alive. So instead of letting the dull |

| 1:19.6 | or holding back from experiencing our emotions, she decided to jump in and swim with that pain. |
| 1:27.0 | And as you'll find out, she's experienced her fair share |
| 1:30.0 | of disappointment in life. And for a while, she kind of lived in this by like tiptoeing around |

| 1:43.5 | was really doing was trying not to wake it up. |
| 1:46.9 | And it hit me that so many of us do this. |
| 1:52.0 | We are so scared to experience the pain and we tiptoe around it thinking that it isn't painful, |
| 1:59.4 | that we're tiptoeing around or it's not as painful as it would be |
