Breakups are a death. They completely dismantle us. Not just from each other, but from everything that once felt safe. And nobody can protect you from your suffering. You can't cry it away or eat it away or starve it away or even therapy it away. It's just there, and you have to endure it.
However, there is deep power that can come with a broken heart. Broken hearts can lead to awakened souls. There’s no way to deny it. Every tear breaks you down, and cracks you open, and allows you to come completely undone, so you can weave yourself back together with more intention and stronger boundaries. With a better sense of who you are and what you want, and of how to reconcile with yourself deeply enough to be ready for it.
During this episode, Demi Lee and Annamaria reflect on their own breakups and what the opportunity of reflection and hindsight has gifted them. Recognising that profound wisdom comes when you can reflect on why you attracted this partnership and what it was there to teach you. What needs to change within you to ensure your next relationship is different? In what ways did you contribute to the dysfunction that caused your relationship to break down?
