What if heartbreak isn't something to rush through, but an invitation to transform? Saguna Budhiraja, a crystal energy guide and founder of Ektara Heart in Amsterdam, challenges the cultural messaging that tells us to "just get over it." Instead, she reveals how a shattered heart literally freezes your nervous system, why your relationships mirror your self-worth, and why the real work isn't finding someone new—it's becoming whole on your own.

Drawing from her own journey through motherhood, childhood wounds, and multiple heartbreaks, Saguna cuts through spiritual platitudes to get real about self-love. She explores the ancestral patterns we inherit, the performance of love we learned as children, and why grief doesn't follow a timeline. As she says, "When your heart is so shattered, it freezes the body. It's like when you fracture the leg, you don't expect yourself to run." Yet we demand exactly that of ourselves after heartbreak.

You'll learn practical wisdom: why asking the right questions before committing matters more than chemistry, how to recognize when a relationship can be healed versus when it needs to end, and what compassion actually looks like in practice. Saguna shares how clients transform through inner work—unpacking wounds, setting boundaries, learning love languages, and practicing self-dating—not through dating apps or manifesting.

Whether you're recovering from heartbreak, questioning a current relationship, or caught in repeating patterns, this episode offers something rare: permission to grieve, tools to heal, and a roadmap to love that starts from within. Listen to discover what becomes possible when you finally put yourself first.
