#59 The Fear of Falling in Love Again After a Breakup

You've done some healing. Time has passed. And now you're starting to think about the future, about maybe meeting someone again, opening up, falling in love.

& then that thought arrives. What if it doesn't work out either?

What if you go through all of that again, the trust, the vulnerability, the plans, the investment & you end up right back here, heartbroken all over again?

This week Kelly is talking about that fear. The one that doesn't get spoken about enough. The one she cried about in a women's circle a few months after her own breakup. & the one she knows thousands of people are carrying too.

You'll hear:

✨ The memory that prompted this episode, Kelly opening up in a women's circle about her fear of putting herself out there again & the girl across the circle who said she felt it too

✨ Why this fear makes complete, primitive, neurological sense & the iron plate analogy that explains it perfectly

✨ The difference between staying single because you genuinely want to and staying single because you're scared- & why only one of those is okay

✨ Why the goal is not to stop the fear, it's to feel it & do it anyway

✨ The one thing that will actually help you overcome it & it has nothing to do with finding the right person

✨ Why Kelly's second breakup was worse than her divorce, but why she recovered from it faster

✨ The foundation concept- what it is, how to build it & why it means that if things go wrong again, you won't be starting from zero

✨ The role of vulnerability in new relationships & how Kelly had to consciously push herself to be open again after her marriage ended

✨ Why love is still worth it- even knowing the risk

Some things are worth the fear. Love is one of them 💚
