The reason this is so important is because we MUST show up as future you. Future you who is over her ex, who is THRIVING not just surviving, the woman who knows her worth, attracts what she wants in life, and makes decisions that benefit her long term not short term. The woman who isn’t constantly obsessing over her ex, stalking his and her social media. You are NOT That person. Being committed and determined and dedicated to your growth will be the difference between incremental growth vs entire life transformation. It’ll be the difference between merely surviving this vs THRIVING.   In this episode: Why commitment and determination is so important during a breakup Why we don’t just automatically feeling that way How to do feel committed and determined ahead of time
