Your Own Damn Heart
MY OWN DAMN HEART
How We Quietly Break the One Thing That’s Always Been on Our Side
Most heartbreak doesn’t come from other people.
It comes from us.
In this episode of TheNoCryZone, Jim Best explores the quiet, respectable, socially acceptable ways we break our own hearts - without drama, without scandal, and without anyone noticing.
Inspired by his original song “My Own Damn Heart,” this episode examines how we slowly erode trust with ourselves through:
- Preemptive quitting before we ever begin
- Disqualifying ourselves from things we’re fully capable of learning
- Choosing comfort over alignment and calling it “peace”
- Making promises we quietly let expire
This is not an episode about self-blame or emotional excess.
It’s about self-interruption - and how repeated withdrawal hurts more than failure ever could.
You’ll hear a powerful reframe:
Your heart isn’t fragile because it wants too much.
It’s fragile because it keeps believing you.
If you’ve ever talked yourself out of something meaningful…
If you’ve postponed a dream into silence…
If you’ve learned to call resignation “maturity”…
This episode is an invitation - not to blow up your life, but to restore integrity through one honest act of follow-through.
No crying.
No melodrama.
Just clarity, courage, and a way forward.
Featuring original music, including “My Own Damn Heart” and a light-hearted closing inspired by an Italian afternoon and an Aperol Spritz.
Listen in - and stop breaking your own damn heart.
