Priority Messages: The Podcast
Welcome to The Priority Messages Podcast, where each week, we tackle a "mental health adjacent" topic, sprinkle in a little science, add in a side of bad jokes and sarcasm, and serve it all up as food for thought. From discussions about breaking cycles of generational trauma and how to improve your emotional intelligence, to learning how your brain forms memories and how to master the art of forgiveness, our aim is to help you understand yourself - and why you might do some of the things you do - a little better. Consider it a little dose of therapy...without the co-pay.
Hosted by the creator of the Priority Messages YouTube channel, a new podcast episode is uploaded every Sunday. Make it a "priority" to join us every week and tune in!

Episode 17: No Apology, No Problem - The Myth of Closure
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
We’ve all been told that “closure” is the magic key to moving on—that if we could just get the apology, the explanation, or the perfect ending, we’d finally feel at peace. But here’s the uncomfortable truth: closure is not something anyone else can give you.
In this episode, we dig into the myth of closure and why waiting for it keeps us stuck in old wounds. We’ll talk about the trap of needing someone else to validate our pain, the freedom of writing your own ending, and how real healing comes from reclaiming your own power—not from chasing the apology that may never come.
If you’ve ever found yourself waiting for the other person to finally “get it,” this conversation is for you.
