Listen "Episode 3: The Power of Heartbreak"
Episode Synopsis
Heartbreak is one of the most powerful initiations we go through as human beings. It strips us down, shatters our illusions, and demands that we feel, deeply and all the way, in a world that often teaches us to intellectualize and move on.In this episode, I explore heartbreak as a teacher: how it cracks us open, confronts us with our limits of intimacy, and reveals where we’ve hidden from ourselves and others. I share a personal story of grief and scent, reflect on the intimacy we long for and fear, and invite you into a guided self-connection practice to soften into your own heart.We’ll look at how heartbreak, whether loud and shattering or quiet and piercing, can return us to what is real. And we’ll end with a poem/blessing from John O’Donohue’s For a New Beginning.May our heartbreaks teach us not just what we’ve lost, but how to return to ourselves, to connection, and to life.
