Healing After Heartbreak — Taking Ownership & Feeling My Emotions

In this solo episode of Man: A Quest to Find Meaning, I open up about one of the most painful experiences of my life—dealing with a breakup that completely knocked me off my feet. I share what it felt like to lose everything I thought was secure, and how that moment became the catalyst for a deeper commitment to myself and my healing.

I talk honestly about the depression, anxiety, and emotional numbness I faced in the months that followed, and how I made a decision early on: I would never allow myself to stay in that place again. That choice led me into a long journey of self-care, personal growth, and healing.

In this episode, I break down what’s helped me: learning how to deal with a breakup, feeling my emotions instead of suppressing them, finding healthy outlets for anger and grief, and exploring inner child healing—something I once thought was “woo” but now see as essential.

Most importantly, I share the power of taking 100% ownership for my life. When I stopped blaming and started owning my part in past relationships, I finally started moving on from the breakup and rebuilding my sense of self.

If you’re in the middle of heartbreak, or looking for tips for moving on, this episode is for you.
You’re not alone—and you can move forward.
