144. What Healing Really Looks Like After a Breakup

About this episode

Leanne Hutchinson discusses the messy and non-linear process of healing after a breakup, providing a reality check for those feeling frustrated with their progress.

We see healing all over social media, the quotes, the glow ups, the “I’m healed now” energy, but real healing after a breakup doesn’t usually look like that. It’s messy. It’s up and down. Some days you feel okay, other days you feel like you’ve gone ten steps backwards. And that’s normal. This episode is a bit of a pep talk and a reality check. I’m talking about what healing actually looks like. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re doing healing “wrong” or felt frustrated that you’re not further along by now, this one’s for you.
