Writing about my breakups started as part of my healing journey.

 

In 2017, I fell in love with a guy in New York City. We dated for about a year before picking up and moving our lives across the country to Los Angeles. The pressure of moving in together in a brand new city while trying to build our own separate lives created a lot of dysfunction.

The holes in our relationship were cracking open. Our fights got worse and worse. I felt lost, confused, angry, resentful, and scared of losing him, and the best way I knew how to cope was to numb those feelings with nightly glasses of Pinot Noir. This was not the life or relationship I wanted for myself.

Once I turned 32, it was clear this man would not be the father of my children, but I didn’t know what to do about it. I had no idea how I would make this transition-- ending a relationship I thought would last forever, finding a new place, moving out, healing my heart, and eventually dating again.

That’s when I reached out for help. I hired a therapist to guide me through getting right with my decision and support me in following through with the breakup. I shared my fears with my closest girlfriends and learned to lean on them for support. I wrote a lot.

And then, I came across an opportunity to join a women’s retreat in Bali. My whole body said YES. Little did I know that this retreat would accelerate my healing process and uncover a deep desire to help other big-hearted people move pleasurably through their breakups.

Now that I’m on the other side of that breakup transition, I can look back and definitively say that asking for help was the best decision I could have ever made for myself.

I know it’s scary. I know it hurts. I know a breakup is not an easy journey. The first step is asking for help.
