In this episode, I share my personal experience of going through a breakup after a decade-long relationship — and what actually helped me move through it.
We explore both the science and the reality of heartbreak:
– Why your brain treats a breakup like addiction withdrawal
– Why heartbreak activates the same regions as physical pain
– Why time and distance are not clichés — they’re neurological requirements
– How social media keeps restarting the healing process
– Why “just checking once” makes it harder to move on
– And what actually helped me detach and recover over time
This isn’t about being strong.
It’s about creating the conditions your brain needs to heal.
Because healing doesn’t happen through willpower.
It happens when you stop feeding the loop.
🎧 If you’re going through a breakup — or still trying to move on — this episode will help you understand what’s happening inside your brain, and what actually works.

What made your breakup harder — the person, or the constant reminders?
